And that breakeven point keeps getting shorter as the conversion equipment gets cheaper. It used to be much longer, back when the concept was new.
Solar already generates DC and inverts to the grid, so tying it directly to HVDC could probably be done by just changing the inverters, rather than adding a whole standalone conversion station. So that makes it cheaper still.
The next frontier will be when a customer asks for DC handoff.
