Yes, China needs to modernize, that's why they're building a shit ton of solar panels, and it seems to be working pretty well so far.
US also needs to modernize, maybe we could also build a shit ton of solar panels, since it seems to be working in other places.

Sure - but the point of putting them in the middle of the road and saying that's how Maine should do it doesn't seem to be applicable to me.
Putting power related infrastructure in the middle of a rural road seems like a poor location.
I'm all for solar power, in general, but putting a bunch of panels where cars can hit them seems dumb.

Not sure how this is supposed to convince anyone that putting solar panels in a median is a good idea

That’s a chart of total installations; that doesn’t disprove the comment about how crappy Chinese rural power is. Just shows they install a lot, which is to be expected given the large urban populace and heavy urban shift since the 1980s.
