My point was that it can take up most of the load in the day and then other methods can take the load at night. Niche does not mean unimportant. Solar could easily produce about 90% of power for some regions (remember, electricity is a valuable export commodity) and other methods will take up the load at night. That is where we are going and that is what the article is about. Once the price gets down low enough solar will become the first choice and other choices will just support it, much like coal or natural gas is that choice at the moment. Economics is a very powerful force.
