are you comparing PV, or PV + Battery storage?

  PV+storage is already cheaper than nuclear.

    I would love to see the numbers for this for an existing commercial installation of grid scale. Everywhere I've looked, sufficiently inexpensive storage is either theoretical or using some tech nobody has really built out en masse before. I know there's a few desert installs that do well, but the best places for solar tend to also be the least populated.

  Batteries costs and PV costs are both dropping exponentially. So it doesn't matter much. Once batteries are everywhere who cares when the electricity is produced. Hey btw Vermont Utility plans to installs battery storage at customers' homes because it cheaper than updating the grid https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/09/business/energy-environment/green-mountain-home-batteries.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/09/business/energy-environme...
