    Not currently, no. But it’s easy to envision a future where we have to do something with solar production in excess of power needs when all forms of energy capture are exhausted.

      Desalination, aluminum recycling, ad infinitum. Anyone who says excess solar is an insurmountable problem is manipulating you.

        Ai training is a great one that the product isn’t hard to move so you can smack it wherever the grid has too much power. Edit: I’m not sure why the hate do people not want solar or something? There has to be a use for overproduction of energy. If not then we won’t build more solar.
