Can’t see the actual article content, but if this is about iran’s renewable buildout – the capacity factors there are actually pretty solid for solar. desert regions pulling ~25-30% vs the ~20% you see in cloudier places.
The real story though is probably grid integration challenges. adding intermittent capacity without storage or flexible baseload is basically just moving the problem around, not solving it.
