They will never work as advertised because of "climate engineering" (is what they are officially calling on jewpedis).

The sun is being blocked out on a global scale. Solar is a money sink.

This represents yet another technical drawback solar energy faces. It not only works extremely poorly in the wintertime, when energy is really in high demand, but also in the summer when temperature climb in the range of 30°C. The only time solar panels seem to work is when they are not really needed.

You really can't beat thermal coal except with nuclear. That's the path we need to take. Thermal coal and natgas as backup systems, renewable where it makes sense to place it as a "more is better" strategy, and nuclear and the main go-to.

Solar power remains realistic/practical within the range of 12v electronics/gears, cigarette lighter socket powered devices typically

Beyond that... It takes too much solar panels
