cheap chinese panels & lithium batteries have been a godsend in africa.

for households they're mostly enough. but not yet that cheap to power industrialization - you still need hydrocarbons for that.

Natural gas grids will face a similar problem as people switch to heat pumps.

    Not sure about the calculation for home heating, but for hot water it is still ideal to have an instant gas hot water system. Heat pump hot water systems are expensive (to install and to service) and take up a lot of space.
