But solar can be much more decentralised than nuclear. So comparing single plants by power doesn't seem fair to me, at the very least you also need to compare costs.


Decentralized solar also requires extensive upgrades and smarter and more robust electrical network. Electrical storage facilities will also still be centralized and you will have even more losses from bringing power in from long distances, and then releasing it back over similar distances again. A central plant is only one way, instead of both ways.
