Solar is good for remote power away from the power grid, tiny devices that power a few LEDs and covering the day time peak load. When you get even 10% of your electricity from solar it becomes a liability.

I'll defend coal because I like being the bad guy.
Coal provides at the very least affordable steel and concrete. The building blocks of civilization.
The only thing making those building blocks more expensive accomplishes is making poor people poorer.

No large scale roll out of solar has ever been reflected as a electricity cost reduction.
