Don't forget Solar Panels require special chemicals and metals to just fabricate these panels, and lots of electricity is used in the manufacturing process. These solar panels have an average life span of 23 years before they need to be replaced. The efficiency of Solar Panels has not increased more than 0.6% over last 10 years, despite $Billions spent on academic research. Currently there are only three American "manufacturers" of Solar Panels, but two of those actually just import Chinese solar panels and resell them for Homes, RV's and Solar farms. Leaving TESLA as the only true American company and the largest manufacturer of Solar panels in the US.
About 30 years from now when all these first generation of solar panels are ready for the trash, the world will be asking scientist why did we ever decide on solar panels.
