Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that’s just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.
You’re trying to claim that a study based on the ERCOT numbers during the 2021 Texas winter storm is at all representative of anything. It’s worth nothing whatsoever.
Is it that expensive to import solar pannels from China, I get that infrastructure scale batteries are expensive?

This is outdated - the LCOE of solar/wind+battery storage is lower than fossil methods of power generation.
Have a reputable citation?
Here’s why renewables are expensive, which takes all costs into account for 100% uptime of power, without brownouts.

Most studies ignore a lot of cost.
That study is a massive dumpster fire, and most certainly not a reputable citation
Do you have a study then, dont just come and take a shit.
I want the study to include storage, and maintenance obviously, and any backup power required for 100% grid reliability.

The study included Germany too, did it not?
The point of the study was including the effects of intermittency and non-dispatchability, which is what makes LCOE a flawed metric.
There’s little point discussing a study that is largely just pure fossil fuel industry propaganda
