How do you even compare something that generates energy for decades and can then be recycled and generate energy for further decades vs something that you use once and then it’s gone forever?

I mean, sure, but it’s comparing $ per kWh vs $ per kW

(Total cost of install + total expected maintenance + fuel costs) / expected lifespan
The catch is that solar is outliving the expected lifespan estimated and warranty periods which means things still tilt towards legacy fuels (doesn’t tip enough in their favor to make them less expensive though)
