Solar probably does make sense in places that are sunny, with expensive and unreliable electricity.

Portland is overcast, has among the cheapest electricity, and it's very reliable.

Regarding cell phones; US land area is huge and population density is relatively low. It's relatively easy to cover a place like South Korea with a robust cellular network.
