Well, let's not blame solar energy as a whole just yet. It seems that there were two main issues:
-

It's going to be a brave new world of content creation when tools that allow visualizing one's imagination become super easy and cheap to use.
People will have to change their conceptions of how much financial value art can reasonably have, but we'll all be the better for it in the end.

completely abstract
The value of a unit of currency is the total production divided by the amount of currency. It's abstract in the sense that it represents everything that is deemed as valuable. You just mint and spread the money around and people will, on their own, end up assigning money its value as they trade. It doesn't need to be tied to any indicator. The free market can assign the value through natural exchange.
