If climate change ends up changing weather profiles and we start seeing many more cloudy days or dust/mist in the air, we'll need to push those solar panel above (all the way to space?) or have many more of them, figure out transmission to the ground and costs will very much balloon.

Not saying this will happen, but it's risky to rely on solar as the only long-term solution.
