annote={First edition reviewed favourably by EOU.  Quote: "The price of solar panels is just 6\% of what it was in 2008..."  Quote: "... as of early 2023 California can cover 7\% of its peak power consumption with batteries ..."  Quote: "It is reasonably clear how we can get to 80-90\% of wind and solar in world electricity supply with batteries while electrifying heating and ground transport. Getting to 100\% will not be easy and may require some expensive things like hydrogen for power, or some difficult-to-scale things like biomass and biofuel, or something not invented yet."  Quote c/o Richard Thonig: "solar thermal for electricity generation isn't (necessarily) dead yet."  Quote c/o Jenny Nelson: "the maximum possible efficiency of a single junction solar cell under one standard sun of incoming is about 33\%. Adding a second junction [layer] can take that into the 40s."  Quote: "Anecdotally, customers wanting to have a solar system installed were put on waiting lists of 8-12 months (and as of early 2023, this is still the case).  'Balcony solar' or 'plug-in solar,' consisting of just a few panels plugged into a standard household plug to cover instantaneous household power demand, can now be seen on houses and apartment blocks in Germany and Switzerland."},
