    Wind is our backbone here in Aus, PV efficiency falls off a cliff over 40c. Ideally we’d build solar collector towers out in the middle of nowhere, but that seems to be a pipe dream.

    Edit: This is for grid-scale, PV is everywhere for residential/small business solar feed-in.

      Oh, that’s right. I hadn’t even thought about the efficiency losses caused by the heat effect! Thanks for pointing that out.
