Please note this is utility scale solar, not random homeowners adding panels to their roofs. These are ~~fossil fuel~~ energy companies investing in and operating these installations.
And it’s working!
And it’s working!
No maintenance, no worry about roof angles or which way your house faces. Usually the investment is financed but you still come out ahead each month.
Of course need to have a local program and participating power company.
This is also what's killed coal so effectively - why would any company want to provide all of those good paying jobs when they just don't have to! (this pertains to NG and other fuels, too - they are just so much less human intensive to extract once the infrastructure is established)
Commercial-scale solar is an entirely different beast, and Texas is crushing it post-snowpocalypse, without much thanks to ERCOT. [0]
