Policy isn’t driving growth - economics are. Pakistan didn’t import 17 GW of solar panels in 6 months because of climate policy. Individuals bought solar panels because the centralized grid is expensive and unreliable. It’s a tech revolution, not a policy shift.

In 20 to 25 years or less when they're all piles of hard to recycle toxic waste what's the plan then? Will the country then have enough to invest in either making their own or in building proper power stations? How much investment in inadequate tech bound to fail can be afforded?

If you come from a really crappy performing net, or have no connection at all, having decent electricity during daytime and some light and a fridge running during the night on a car battery is alread a big plus.

Pakistan built coal-fired power plants with funding from China. And then unprecedented floods devastated the country. aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/1. Man-made climate change stopped being an abstract idea as soon as reality hit home.

We don't need need solar in France, we have nukes, and 90% of the territory is not suitable for solar panels anyway (high latitudes). It's a complete waste propped up by stupid policies. They generate too much power in summer (lowest demand), not enough in winter (highest).

Man … this is not the win you think it is for people in Pakistan , electricity is unreliable .. upto 10 hrs of no electricity. Also electrifying is expensive as hell.. so don’t make Pakistan the poster child

Good investment, but please if you already use half correct name, use the fully correct name: "PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES" of nominal power 17 GW.

Jesse Peltan on X has been showing this graph for a while. He says a 600W PV panel will provide 1000 kWh/year. This gets you to top of the low energy countries. I ran the numbers and this is right. 1/n

The Stuttgart-based technology consultancy P3 has analysed more than 7,000 electric cars for the durability of their 🔋🪫 batteries. The result: electric car batteries last much longer than expected and simply don't break down. Even the range hardly decreases after a long
