Again they aren't the same product. Everyone always thinks power is only about $/kwh especially in hackernews. That is a strong proponent of the product but most definitely not all of it. Solar just does not work for large scale industrial uses cases (99.99% uptime). Even with massive energy storage to try and cover the edges. Its a great combo but not comparable.

How does your "large scale industrial use case" deal with 50% of the French nuclear fleet being offline?

Or 50% of the Swedish fleet two times this year being offline?
