The rate at which renewable energy is used to double its production. A 500 kW PV system is capable of breeding 1MW of new production (assumes 500kWhr requirement/kg Silicon, or doubling every 6 months. At such a rate, acre-scale energy production with PV allows replication of one facility - in terms of its energy base - every 6 months.
This is correct in principle - https://chatgpt.com/share/69e57b3a-0688-83ea-b997-b5adb6ba366a
Look at details - how does UMG change the balance, and what assumptions they are making on installed systems - and can we break these with building-integrated PV etc.
