Yeah, but solar was also treated as a space exploration technology due to the lack of atmosphere inhibiting direct rays. Fact we can't even really use it that way definitely detracts from the promise of a solar array.
I used to defend solar based on future potential, but the only one pushing for space exploration doesn't believe in it getting more efficient than it is.
And of course while Elon isn't an expert in every field personally, I would definitely say he has some of the world's brightest minds employed.
TL;DR: Solar really kinda sucks for 9/10 use cases. Can't even charge an electric vehicle to any substantial degree under optimal conditions. Green New Deal fetishists should go back to the drawing board and stop wasting our time and money.

P.S. RTGs are neat
