This does likely include roof mounted residential solar.
>Most solar in a solar-powered world will be on the ground.
It is probably more accurate to say that most solar in a solar-powered world should be on the ground. The reality is that roof-top solar is the most expensive form of power in the world and yet it continues to be heavily subsidized. These subsidies are in the form of direct tax breaks and usually higher electricity prices paid by those who can't install it. A dollar wasted on roof-top solar would be MUCH better spent on solar panels installed on the ground by the utility.

solar panels arent born in nature and dont degrade biologically. also consider output by scale. most of heavy production occur in xinjiang where there isnt a safety culture, installations are anothoer issue. btw the data on solar is understimated for sure due to chinese data quality

I dispute this number. Are you considering roof mounted residential solar? Most solar in a solar-powered world will be on the ground.
