Utilities can do a lot more to make it better. For example at the nadir of the duck curve[1] is still PEAK PRICING in some places (including most of California) for home users. In the bay area that's approximately 32c kWh for PG&E.
They're somehow disincentivizing people from taking power at the time it's the most important to absorb it. It doesn't make sense. A smarter home and more flexible market pricing would go a long way.
