Oh, I forgot to mention;
As the solar cells are such poor performers on solstist days with
output down to 80% 2 hours after local noon and down to 40% 4 hours
after local noon and worse in winter then you need a tracking system.

Money money money, who said solar was cheap ?

What I have just said is like swearing in church !

"What has 'racism' got to do with electricity?"
Nothing; it just highlights the hypocrisy of your ad hominem.

As for what's being done to prevent a recurrence of the statewide shutdown, already there've been changes to the automatic response some wind turbines had to line faults. That alone would've been enough to prevent it from occurring had it been done before the tornadoes struck the lines. But there are also going to be batteries installed, and probably a few less obvious changes as well.

The lessons of SA (and other countries) are clear that installing renewable power needs to be backed up with alternate sources such as coal, gas, hydro, etc. The costing of the renewables needs to take this into account.
