Specialized solar panel loans, which are secured loans that can only be used for solar panel systems, generally come with lower interest rates.

I was trying to estimate the mining footprints of solar and nuclear, and came up with some very tentative rough estimates that ore input for solar energy might have an energy density (per unit mass) ~ 5 to 80 times coal, while nuclear (convential US fuel cycle) may be ~ 20 times coal — on the solar side, this doesn't include some balance of system components, and on the nuclear side, it only includes the U, but on the solar side, the actual energy density could get much higher with recycling of the same material into multiple successive generations of solar energy devices, and on the nuclear side, breeder reactors.

In our current gadget - centric culture, one limiting factor for mobile devices is the capacity of the batteries that power them, and while we haven't seen any massive improvements in battery technology (yet) which would allow us to go for days between charges, mobile solar chargers and battery backup systems seem to be the only solutions (well, other than to actually stop using them so much).

Initially for the sake of a simplified discussion assume that we have an earth system with only solar energy and GHGs.

Which itself is fuelled by rapidly falling prices, not only for the solar panels themselves, but also for the rest of the systems and installation:
