I’ve quantified my entire argument, you do nothing but say I’m wrong.

You’re like a pigeon on a chessboard, knocking pieces down and thinking they’ve won.

Electricity is needed 24 hours a day, 25 GW of solar is not providing 25 GW of continuous electricity to the grid for 24 hours.

Therefore 25 GW of solar puts the same amount of electrons to the grid as 6.25 GW of base load.

I can make it easy for you.

100 GW 8 hours sunlight

So you’ve generated 800GWh out of a possible 2400 GWh

This would be 33% capacity

Given that you are only generating peak capacity for a limited amount of time and other factors like clouds you aren’t generating 100 GW for those 8 hours.

So a more realistic number is 600 GWh, meaning a 25% capacity factor.

This would be the equivalent of having a 25 GW base load asset running at 100% capacity factor

Explain how I’m wrong instead of postulating that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

The average capacity factor for solar is ~25%, this means that if you have a solar system of 100 GW it’s only producing 25% of its peak capacity. Another point is that the 100 GW quoted is likely dc, meaning it’s going to lose about 10% being converted to ac to be put onto the grid.

So ~6.25 GW to the grid…
