Get you a couple of acres and join the effort

Two Framingham companies, SolarFlair Energy, Inc. and Framingham
Salvage Co. teamed up to build an 800KW Solar Farm in Framingham, MA.

For comparison, here is an 800 kW diesel generator. Notice that it doesn't require as much land as solar (snark). It can run nonstop all year, daytime, nighttime, rain or shine or snow. You never need to shovel snow off of it. You never need to hire people to wash acres of panels. It is dispatchable and will not destabilize the transmission and distribution system.

Diesel generators 50 times larger are now playing an important role in power generation. From April, 2012:

New local diesel power stations: An economic assessment

By Richard J.Wills and Bryan G.Reuben

Abstract
A recent investigation examined the economic potential for electricity generation in the UK using large slow-speed two-stroke diesel engines of around 40 MW unit output. Large diesels are a high efficiency technology, resilient to fuel quality, and with high reliability. Economic analysis compared diesels with other generating options for a range of fuel scenarios and discount rates. Merit order potential and total costs were also assessed. The diesels show superior economic qualities, both in terms of investment criteria and high merit position. They are economically comparable with combined cycle gas turbines, but combined cycle plant is essentially large-scale, whereas diesels in 40 MW unit sizes can provide small-scale, high-efficiency local generation. Slow-speed diesels represent a sound investment for electricity supply. Diesels in local power stations in southern England would increase supply security and diversity. They are compatible with a cautious investment approach and are appropriate for the new market conditions in electrcity supply.

And yet they clear cut the “precious” forests to put up such monstrosities. Hypocrites! File under “It’s ok when DEMS do it!”
