Interesting article from 2017 (originally the study was done in 2015) about the studies that find contrary evidence (around 3% of the papers). Well they have been researched and found to have all erred in at least 1 of three main ways.
From an article at Quartz (qz.com) "Many had cherry-picked the results that conveniently supported their conclusion, while ignoring other context or records. Then there were some that applied inappropriate “curve-fitting”—in which they would step farther and farther away from data until the points matched the curve of their choosing.
And of course, sometimes the papers just ignored physics altogether. “In many cases, shortcomings are due to insufficient model evaluation, leading to results that are not universally valid but rather are an artifact of a particular experimental setup,” the authors write."

Meanwhile in Zimbabwe they are mandating Solar Installs in new construction and have removed all tariifs associated with Solar energy component imports. Where are we going with ours?
