By price, obviously!
/s (but a little bit not /s?)
I mean, sure, but it’s comparing $ per kWh vs $ per kW
Edit: To be clear, I do understand that consumer pricing is kWh across the board. My point is that the producer side for solar doesn’t actually scale per hour the way it does for fossil fuels. So while $/kWh is a convenient metric to shove renewables into the existing market, it kinda stacks the deck in favor of fossil fuels.
