We must also keep in mind that solar PV and wind generation are “construction projects” and are seasonal or regional as demand for power in one area wanes it waxes in another area of the country. With the numbers given for furloughed or laid off solar PV work force, solar PV and wind generation continued on through last year and installs increased overall from 2019. The uncertainty of “policy,” On renewable energy direction has also contracted due to the inevitable ramp down of the ITC. Right now the country is waiting more for the Government to get Covid-19 inoculations to the majority of the citizens in this country. I’m thinking right now, face masks worn properly, not chin diapers, social distancing, sanitation of one’s hands and surroundings regularly will be necessary for months if not years to come.
