this is going to be a very interesting study for modularized, distributed power grid in a war affected environment.

Its one of the reasons I think Its better than Nuclear power. Power stations make fantastic high value targets in war, and a quick easy way to cripple an enemy and permanently hamper their ability to operate into the future.

A society with solar (and maybe batteries) make for a target thats hard to cripple, and easy to repair and recover.

I feel like in war and natural disasters this as a seriously undervalued aspect
