If I ever become super rich, I want to do things like paying for people to switch to solar energy, etc. I think there’s a lot I could do as an individual that governments won’t do/too slow to do that isn’t just donating to charities where half the money goes to “admin costs”

Yes, this is true. The best way to make it clear to people is by analogy to startups. Do you care more about how much a company pays in salaries, or what it's building?
I think the reason people mistakenly focus on overhead is that they mistakenly consider nonprofits to be mere conduits for money. They don't realize that nonprofits can actually do things.
