Really cool to see you writing what initially looks like more positive stories about solar. It would be even better if you were to acknowledge the real difference between solar and "renewables"; the effect on economy, of Joules donated from outer space, which convert to materials including clean fuel and food, which by use, are automatically added to the economic capital of Earth, and therefore physical product which requires to be reflected by formal issue of money.

No other form of energy production has this result, because there are no actual sources of energy on Earth, only stores of energy on Earth, created by nature from the energy of the sun, and it is our destruction of those which exclusively causes pollution.

It doesn't help anyone to see this incredibly important fundamental difference, by continuing to talk about solar as it if is just another "Renewable", competing with the others. It isn't.

Solar is the interface to the only actual source of energy. There is no other.

Therefore it is the only way out of the pollution trap, and the concept of renewables is bullshit industry distraction from that very simple fact.

I've pointed this out to you now several times but still no acknowledgement.

On the subject of panel efficiency, Andy's comment below is on the nail, and with that observation, coupled with mine, your article can look like a distraction from the true benefits of actual panels in production.
