Saskatchewan, Ontario to roll out mini-nuclear reactors
> A 300W-solar power farm would require 1.5 million solar panels and cost approximately $300 million, provided the 1,500- to-1,800 acres of land needed was free and the sun shone steadily,<p>It's worse than that.  Let's say you get 12 hours of steady sunshine every day.<p>What to do the other 12 hours?  For that you'll need storage.<p>Therefore, you will need to double the capacity of the solar array so that during that 12 hours you can both store power and deliver power to people who need it.<p>But then no power store is 100% efficient, so you'll also need to add more panels for that.<p>But then you're never going to get 12 hours of steady power every day.  You're going to have to increase storage and panels to account for that too.
