That's a great demonstration, but I doubt it will become cost-effective anytime soon, or ever. To me it looks like building a sufficiently thick undersea HVDC

To me it looks like building a sufficiently thick undersea HVDC line wrapping around the globe and connecting all the solar installations on the ground would be an easier route. The sun always shines somewhere.
