4. I look at the CAISO solar power output in California frequently.

I find anyone making this kind of argument, and over the years I've heard lots of them, rather amusing, wrong, but amusing.

I really hate to waste too much time here on these very specious claims, but I would note that if one enters the following terms into Google scholar, solar cell output degradation, one will get 195,000 hits in less than a second 17,900 of them published during and since 2020.

I don't buy into handwaving and lazy unreferenced pronouncements. I read the primary scientific literature.

Even if this future electronic junk did produce 500 MW continuously, which it won't since it only entrenches the dangerous natural gas industry since it requires a redundancy, 3500 acres would be obscene, but if anyone fails to understand that, they are probably not worth too much time engaging them.
