The discussion compares the electrical current generated by solar panels during a massive thunderous lightning storm to that produced under regular daily sunshine. It concludes that while lightning generates an immense amount of electrical energy instantaneously, the duration and consistency of sunlight provide a more reliable and sustainable energy source for solar panels. The intensity of lightning, although powerful, is not practical for continuous energy generation.
