Where ate all the “solar is too complicated for s grid!!” people now?
Super good news.
Don’t worry just wait until, checks notes, the sun goes to bed at night. What then France? How will your solar work in clouds? Check and mate.
We concentrated so much on solar energy we completely forgot moon energy, and now, we must pay for that oversight.
Maybe… It’s good that peak production is so high, but there isn’t enough storage to take real advantage of it yet. And even if you’re not paying for power generation you still need to maintain power infrastructure. Maintenance isn’t free.
No, it’s still good news despite new problems that may arise.
The negative price drop is likely not good - long run. That’s the thing I’m talking about. If you can’t sell electricity you can’t maintain infrastructure. That will likely correct over time.
