OK, but this is not "real" until you have end-to-end solar, as in starting from sand and ending up with installed solar panels, with every step along the way solar-powered, no fossil fuels, not even in the truck to deliver them to the end user. Because what we do have right now is end-to-end fossil. The main use of fossil fuels now should be bootstrapping the next level, not everyday use.
