This page is about how to scale up solar power enough to decarbonize energy.

Things that won't work

  • Solar panels of today - too mineral-intensive to scale up
  • Concentrator PV - useless on cloudy days (whereas other solar panels are reasonably productive)
  • Desert solar - too far away from where most people live

Projects needed
