What hot sunny regions like that are good for is more for is solar steam turbines, since solar EV panels as noted by other posters become less effective when overheated.
Bonus points if they manage to incorporate it into a desalination process for creating potable water while they are at it.
The challenge that as always remains with inconsistent generation methods like solar and wind is storage of that energy.
You mean, like the deep Sahara desert?

Maybe if Biden brings on mass inflation and job losses and mass immigration the labor cost going down just might make it work.
No. Solar is ideal in sunny and cold locations. Like Colorado.
Voltage decreases with heat. That's why it's important to keep the modules as cool as possible.
