Yeah solar is inevitably going to dominate the grid mix over the next couple decades. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61424 https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61424 Even if you discount by capacity factor it's the #1 new energy source being installed in the US, and similar or better anywhere with enough sun. I've done some armchair analysis that says that solar plus battery is cheaper than basically any other kind of new plant, obviously the biggest gains come first in peaking and adaptive load, but once you factor in fuel costs it even beats out natural gas now I think.
