Solar energy output has exploded the past few years, it's not all bad news out there.

I agree to some extent, but the technology is still early-stage and doesn't scale as well as fossil fuels. The quadratic dependence of emitted energy on surface area isn't necessarily bad, though it does raise some questions.

I hope it is not a strict limitation for the technology ...

Fossil output has also increased significantly and none of our goals to mitigate further warming have been met.
