TLDR: please don’t just put solar on your roof, we’re past those days, please either get an EV you can charge during the day or battery

    at night we buy energy from the grid. figure out a system that doesn’t include stupid stuff like negative pricing for the mostly coal or petroleum fired energy.

    or we go all out on batteries and store the extra energy from the day.

    they could try all sorts of solutions instead of telling people to stop using solar panels if they really wanted to.

      Yes that’s what the article is saying

      The day time negative pricing is because coal power plants can’t turn off but are needed at night, if we stop needing them at night we can just shut them down
