I feel like Solar power in Aus is cheating. You get a bit of sun fairly often, compared to other places.

It’s not cheating, it’s using what you’ve got. Iceland isn’t cheating by using geothermal. If it’s there to use, might as well use it.

South-Western US has the same kind of landscape. Might finally turn the unbearable sun in Arizona into something positive.

It’s as much cheating as hydroelectric is in countries with snow melt or tropical monsoons, I guess.
