This is Brian Potter’s article(s) on how to solve solar’s seasonality problem and how much it’ll cost: https://www.construction-physics.com/p/can-we-afford-large-scale-solar-pv and https://www.construction-physics.com/p/understanding-solar-energy
Plus his articles on exactly how solar got so cheap are super interesting: https://www.construction-physics.com/p/how-did-solar-power-get-cheap-part

This is the graph of solar’s price over time: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/solar-pv-prices

Here’s a video I showed some clips from in the video. It’s about making silicon from sand: https://youtu.be/Lo3O82dmPxA?si=UmY5hyrWFoUQcA3B
