Two mistakes in this:

1. Comparing nameplate capacity of solar to peak demand. The real peak production figure is about half of that. Which changes the equation from "we have far too much already" to "we don't have enough yet". And we should be targeting higher than the peak anyway.

2. Noting that midday demand has dropped and not connecting that to rollout of behind the meter solar on domestic and business roofs.

Plus the general scaremongering about negative prices. Why do people find these so scary?
