It's fun to go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_photovoltaic_power_sta... and look at the map view of these solar plants. The first link is roughly 10x20km in size, next to a big dam to hold pumped hydro. The peak generating capacity is off the charts and most of the largest plants are situated next to pumped hydro to give storage. You've probably heard that solar installation is exponential and that it's now cheaper than nuclear even with storage and transmissions costs factored in and this is a great way to see it and understand it. https://reneweconomy.com.au/csiro-says-wind-and-solar-much-c... |
