@redfrog tbf, depending on where it is, it's a bad idea.
Where I live, they doubled electricity costs to create more solar energy, but for 9 months of the year they barely produce any energy. Some peak usage hours occur in the middle of winter in the middle of the night, while no solar panel is producing a microwatt of power.
Meanwhile, the hydroelectric dams are producing tons of power, but lobbyists hate it because it's a practical proven technology with a 100 year track record. Is there an environmental impact? Of course there is. There is no such thing as a power source that doesn't have an environmental impact at industrial scale, and that includes solar.
