"The amount of energy output you can get out of one square meter of sunlight at high noon at the equator is 1,000 watts. That's barely enough to power a hair dryer"

I've got 7 Kyocera 200 W panels.

Over the course of a year, they power my house, plus put 200-500 KWH of xs power into the grid.

And you completely ignored the rest of my post. A coal plant does not exist in isolation. You have to mne it. These days, that is usually a strip mine. Have you ever seen a strip mine? That land is pretty much useless after that. And then the fly ash has to be disposed of. It is pretty nasty stuff, both chemically and physically. So more land that is damaged for a very long time.
