"yeah, but that's the tiny install, what about that 20MW 100ha install you talked about?, that's bigger than your station carpark!!"
Yep. So let's use the local supermarket roof... And maybe their carpark... And some businesses... And some homes. Maybe the local school roof. That'll quickly add up. Simpler installs, no faffing in safety critical environments. No bonkers long cable runs. Power generated near to where its used.
It's just there's no VC funding for such sensibilities...
