Yes of course solar cells generate (less) power on overcast days.
Here's the issue: If solar is already on track to replace fossil fuels by 2030, everyone can stop working on energy. Bill Gates can apologize and shutdown his new fund. Sam Altman can stop meeting with energy companies.
But I'm skeptical. I expect there remain needed technologies. Storage? Transmission? Baseload? Such an analysis would tell us.
I'm asking, where can I find an analysis of this? All these articles are lite advocacy pieces that border on marketing.
