It doesn't seem possible for solar to make that much progress in that short a time.
It takes forever to get transmission capacity approved and built to areas where solar is really cost-effective and we still don't have grid-scale energy storage.

As for utility-scale, it's also smashing records, but that's a different discussion. $6c/kWh in UAE was a figure that surprised a lot of observers. Regarding storage... solar coincides very well with peak A/C load, so the main use case doesn't require it.
