But you don't need to work with exponential curves to know that you can use solar only for like half a day and even less during winter. Those solar installation now are big part of overall cost. And with majority of EU population living in flats where you gonna install them?
Solar installations are already so cheap that they are cheaper than the fuel being burned in existing power plants. So it makes sense to have them replace this kind of fuel burning.
They are still getting cheaper so there is no stopping solar.
I have seen statistics showing that solar parks currently cover less area than there are Golf courses (at least in Europe).
