I thought of that for wind power. I hadn't thought of that for solar. Here in the south solar is fairly easy to decentralize and scatter it across many sources. Even if it's one solar farm per neighborhood, the solar farm feeding your neighborhood is liable to be closer to your house than the nearest coal plant, natural gas plant, nuclear plant, or hydro plant. Then there's my favorite version of decentralized solar: if you want it you buy it and put it onto your house (or land) for your use.
That's why my solar system works so well for me. I was incentivized to make it work efficiently for my needs because it cost my money and is intended for my benefit. That's exactly why I don't want "green" energy from the utility, forced onto us by the Dims. When they do that they have no incentive to make it work efficiently and cheaply.
Even though fossil fuels are so much more dependable and cheaper than solar power, the fact of the matter is that I can't produce my own fossil fuel or generate my own power from fossil fuels. Thus, the more I use fossil fuels the more the Dims have a hook to control me. However, the more energy independent I am, the less money they can suck out of my monthly budget to force me to pay a tithe to their greta cult of cow farts and hating the good climate life of the Modern Warm Period.
You are fortunate to have the solar exposure to take advantage of solar. In my case, I have so much shade due to about 40 huge cedar trees around my house, there is no way. The only good is the nice crop of mushrooms I get in the spring and the fall. LOL!
