You’ve got a mass power generation mentality, return to my original reply. What did it say? It offers the possibility of greater individual autonomy. Mass solar arrays make little sense when the land beneath it would be dedicated to nothing else. However, everybody has a roof. Everybody has or needs a garage or storage, use the support structure to create shelter rather than adding onto it. There are now standard size 500 watt solar panels. There are now solar roofing shingles. There are now complete battery banks using LiFePo4 batteries, non-volatile, very long life measured in decades. The rate of technological advance is picking up, not slowing down. There will be totally electric, mobile tiny houses analogous to current RV’s. Pick up and go, take your work and your home with you. The roof *is* a solar array. Individual autonomy, not power plants to serve hundreds of thousands, although that will come to be less and less pie in the sky as time wears on.
I’ve been saying this for at least ten years. The future of solar (and wind) is not in commercial application but in individual consumer and residential applications.
