>it breaks after 25 yearsand is still cheaper than fuel and maintenance compared to nuclear/coal etc.
>costs a shitton of money to recyclenot really, it's mainly just a case of economies of scale. The infrastructure just isn't really there yet because there aren't enough old panels yet.
> it works top only in places where nobody lives
just incorrect, there's not shortage of land.
> and energy transmission to the real world is shitalso just wrong, though infrastructure improvements would only help. For example with an actual HVDC grid New york could be selling power to California in the morning due to their 3 hour earlier sunrise, and vise versa with California's 3 hour later sunset. with ~6% transmission losses
