If putting 265,000 sq ft of solar panels is cheaper than the equivalent battery needed, why wouldn't they do that?

- mlyle 4y ago265k sq ft of solar panels roughly reduces the amount of battery needed by 3% to go any given distance, his math says. It is unlikely this costs less than the 3% of battery reduced. And of course, you can't readily make the whole upper surface of a container ship into panels, because cranes lift containers off the ship.
