Solar analyst Jenny Chase did her yearly "thoughts on solar" update recently and said:
> By 2030 most countries will have spot power prices of zero in sunny hours. This will be passed on to end consumers, to encourage them to shift power demand to sunny periods by electric vehicle and battery charging, preheating, precooling, etc.

So Australia is just ahead of the curve, as it generally is with solar.
I wonder when the US will implement a similar system. For being one of the most wealthy and technologically progressive countries, I'm surprised it isn't further along.
When those with fossil fuel economic interests are disempowered from rent seeking.
When shareholders allow.
