>Not anymore the newer generastions of glass glass modules are already good enough that you can produce energy at market price. Generally you don't need subsidies anymore to build and run a solar power plant. Technology really did some huge steps in that direction.
What market are you talking about? Last time I checked the theoretical peak efficiency of solar panels was around 22% meaning that at best 22% of the solar energy hitting it will be converted into DC power. Of course, you must also factor things like latitude to calculate tilt optimal tilt.
>Depends what technology and what material you use really. The worst thing you can do is build those solarpanels that follow the sun
You're forgetting basic shit like pollen, dust, and snow.
>We build our powerplants with higher quality material but simple construction. And we plan to have them run for like 50 years. The norm is 20 years
Look at the picture. Even in the data sheets the manufacturers are telling people the panels will immediately start producing less power than what they're rated for. 80% of the rating at half of the 50 years you say people are planning to run these solar plants.
This post is getting long, but you're also forgetting another major factor, footprint. Coal, nuclear, gas, etc. all have much smaller footprints than solar power and produce orders of magnitude more power.
