Solar costs whatever it costs to buy, install and maintain a solar PV farm, which is not nothing.

If you’re going to build a solar PV farm, you’re obviously going to want to sell the power you generate in whatever way is most profitable.

At the moment, it’s still magnitudes more profitable to sell solar back to the grid than it is to feed it into an inefficient hydrolysis plant, create a load of hydrogen and oxygen, and then move it by tanker somewhere to sell it.
