The sad reality is that until PV technology takes a huge leap forward, PV solar is basically useless. There simply isn't enough power from the sun that reaches the ground. It works on a small scale, but it'll never work on a large scale. The best options are the parabolic mirror arrays that concentrate the sunlight and even then you get a paltry 16MW for a 1600acre site.
