On average around the world, sunlight delivers a barrel of oil of

million dollars over 25 years. With photovoltaic systems we can
convert up to 20% of this raw energy directly into electricity.


Electricity has little to nothing to do with oil.

This is just apples and oranges arm waving.

The other minor problem no one cares to address is that contrary to
what most people think, peak electricity demand is typically after
sundown.
