Re:Solar is dirt-cheap and about to get even more powerful by goodpoint on Monday July 12, 2021 @01:16PM (#27812624)
Scale and network effects are complex and non-linear and need to be understood beyond simplistic slogans.

The efficiency of solar panels stays the same with the number of panels deployed next to each other.

The infrastructure to transport electricity (pylons, cabling, transformers) becomes more expensive with increasing capacity. Less centralization requires less transport.
