In many regions solar capacity factor is much higher than 20%; for example, the entire US. https://atb.nrel.gov/electricity/2021/utility-scale_pv

I’m kind of a fan of government doing the right thing regardless of the (high) chance of someone else coming in and shitting all over it.

Of course most don’t actually even believe it, that’s just the pitch to get that VC juice. It’s basically fraud all the way down.

Solar panels are incredibly thin and light. There is no reason not to include them.

Ahh Reggie, I hear yer quite the man aboot toon

How can you guys get any work done around the house if you’re constantly swapping shoes?

Solar panels don’t use any “rare metals.” Solar carport projects simply cost 3-4x more on a per watt basis than large “green field” ground mount projects. This is due to the increased structural, permitting, and install costs. Carports also cannot track the sun, which reduces their output by about 20%.

It’s an issue for perovskite cells. “Traditional” silicon cells (which makes up probably 90+% of current installs) last 40+ years.

It smells and feels awful, though.
