PV solar also can be done by installing it on rooftops -- this also shades the building so it requires less cooling (and solar is most useful in hot, sunny areas)
moreover, with a rooftop install you have nil transmissions losses (!)
an important security advantage is that PV solar (tho not concentrated sunlight (mirrors all over) solar) provides a distributed power supply -- if an earthquake, accident or terrorist attack (say esp. a cyber attack) zaps part of the grid then areas with PV solar will still have power - maybe just some, or maybe "even too much" - this is a significant adv. vis a vis risk
our power grid today is already failing and is far too susceptible to such security risks
the there is the "
PR advantage" - nobody is scared of it
too bad it is (currently) so expensive
