Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They're dirty right now. I'm not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

Oh dear someone has had a tantrum and resorted to shouting and ad hominiums.

I know solar is good and sounds like it works well for you in your part of the world. My only point is that it's not going to solve climate change like you make out.

I don't play Fortnite or Rocket League lmao.
