Good news, with qualifications!
How often do solar panels be cleaned to be effective?
How intermittent and unreliable is this source of energy?
How many batteries/storage are needed to make it more reliable?
Green or renewable energy are euphemisms!
"... less than two years after reaching two terawatts and four years after reaching one.
China still accounts for most of the growth in global solar capacity, but a rising share now comes from cheap Chinese panels installed in developing countries."
"After crossing the 100-gigawatt mark in 2012, it took the world 10 years to deploy 1 terawatt of solar power. An additional 1 terawatt, enough to meet all of US power demand at its peak, took less than three years to build. Not even two years later in 2026 — the precise timing is subject to debate among analysts — the 3-terawatt threshold was reached."

The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed (original news source?) "The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology."
