The problem here is that the technology development and engineering required to stand up a solar plant is:

Step one. Throw the panel on the ground.

Step two. Power comes out.

Well, you do need inverters and grid-tie and space and permits etc.

I too get pedantic sometimes.

"Solar Plant" can include RV applications where the direct current is used... Directly. Without telling anybody. Like a nasty off grid Mad Max rebel.

Uhh, no. There's Billions spent to engineer better solar panels. The cost of solar 20 years ago was 10x what it is now.
