Its also tricky to defend in war prone locations.

I think solar is amazing and we need more of it - but I can't stand this solar and storage go at it alone mentality. It's pretty thickheaded to discount the other forms of energy that we can use and will need.

In practice, in Ukraine distributed solar power has been an increasingly important source of resilience in their power supply system.

There are legit reasons to push back against “solar and batteries everywhere” but I find it hard to credit resilience in a conflict situation as one of them.

I think I'd rather a solar panel array be bombed than a nuclear power plant.

Solar has the advantage that it can be widely distributed on buildings rather than in just a few centralized locations.
