Fossil fuel generators, can be hidden in trees or underground and vented.

Solar panels are easy to spot from a drone, and fragile, so it's easy to damage them.

My friends in Ukraine charge their ecoflows with a generator, because if you put a solar panel outside your drone team bunker, you invite incoming artillery.



Of course, I was talking about civilian use, not implying drone teams might spin up a nuclear reactor for a bit of warmth. Solar panels and heat pumps won't make a block of flats more of a target.

And how do you plan to get the fossil fuels for these generators? Gas stations and oil pipelines are even easier and more centralised targets than solar panels.

I think you're thinking of massive gigantic centralised solar power plants, what if every single house has enough solar for the basic necessities, would Putin just carpet bomb every neighbourhood to rubble just to destroy the cheap Chinese solar panels?
