Adding stats from the Netherlands to show how fast it can go even in a rainy northern country. In 2015 NL had almost no solar. In 2023 solar produced 21bn of the total 120bn kWh. Coal dropped 34% yoy: solar is cheaper. NL is now an electricity exporter. www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2...

Three key questions for solar are latitude, weather and population density/land usage. The Netherlands is among the densest and most farmed countries in the world, has rainy weather and is as far north as Canada. Think about solar potential in Spain, let alone Algeria or the US.
