You also can only convert solar into electric, on average, about 10 hours per day in the US - it’s too dark at night. Not enough sunlight.

AOC has come up with a solution for that... simply shine bright lights onto the solar panels at night to keep charging them.

Actually, without being able to track the sun, it’s closer to 5 hours of decent power production, and that’s in perfect weather. There are charts with the numbers on them, ranges from like 2 hours in Seattle to 8 hours in the desert southwest.
