    In any case, I don’t think that really makes a difference ultimately. Rooftop solar doesn’t make that much power in the grand scheme of things. It’s proper facilities that make the real power, and those are usually large solar farms, which are built over (usually rural) land dedicated for that purpose and do require more than 10km of cable to connect to the rest of the grid. Just like any other power plant, really.

    I mean solar is great and all, I just don’t see that being a real benefit in any grid where solar is responsible for any significant percentage of generation. Or am I misunderstanding the argument entirely and talking about something else?
