Not when solar is generated. Creating and maintaining infrastructure, and using space for infrastructure.

Maybe your current problem isn’t unmet needs, but there are plenty of people who do have that problem.

So, what do you think gets exhausted when we are doing this?

Time, materials, and physical space? Ideally all of the last two is reusable/ renewable after the end of lifespan on the piece of infrastructure, but in current supply chain it is not.

I guess by “time” you mean “labor”. This is the first time I see this mentioned as a non-renewable resource.

How is “space” not renewable/reusable? You can destroy solar panels and put something else on its place.

All the materials used are abundant and in enough availability to multiply several times our current capacities, and as you point out, may even become reusable/recyclable at one point if it ever become economically profitable to do so. Or even before if we so desire.
