I'm thinking that spatial is the bigger problem.

>2x the juice from the same amount of solar exposure

Right. Even with big suburban homes roof area end up being at a premium.

Not cost based, but generated in the UK.  I re looked at this as a mate in construction specialises in power.

There has been little wind in the UK recently.  It shows here.

This shows the solar better although I understand it is difficult to assess, as the data is not central:
