About two more years I think. I'm expecting there to be enough solar to decarbonize by 2050 if we also ramp up wind turbine manufacturing. The latter part is important because the different intermittency of the two renewables sharply reduces the amount of storage needed.
This is great news that everyone should be aware of IMO!
I was just thinking this morning about how cloudy / stormy days are often windy, and that combining windmills with solar seems ideal even on the small scale.
