You’re spending too much time in theoryland. How do you over-provision for 10 feet of snow in a week of 0f/-10c? It’s not a hypothetical. Moving energy across long distances is absolutely critical to carbon-free energy.

uh, you clean the panels for one. Outside of that, you import external energy, or use other generation sources.

And at that point you need a power grid and at that point you may as well centralize the generation to utilize economies of scale.
