The author clarifies that Elon Musk's solar farm proposal is an illustration, not a literal plan. They emphasize solar PV's high power density and ability to reduce distribution costs by enabling on-site generation, which is crucial for rapid electrification given slow transmission and distribution (T&D) upgrades.
Solar PV has a higher power density than New York City.
Solar energy is already wirelessly distributed, cutting distribution costs.
Solar + storage lets us bypass T&D constraints and generate electricity on site.
Solar + storage is essential for rapid electrification at scale due to slow T&D upgrades.
Misinterpretation of solar power proposals.
Concerns about transmission requirements for solar energy.
Slow pace of transmission and distribution (T&D) upgrades.
