What's the range? 15 miles?

I agree though. Solar on the battlefield doesn't make sense since it is not mobile and cannot be concealed or protected.

I do think the centralized nature of massive diesel generators and their fuel supply lines are a tactical weak point though. I like the idea of flexible distributed power grids for troops but I'm not sure solar fits the bill.

It would be cool to hear some input from generals and see some proof of concepts.

For M30A2, 70km or ~43 miles.
