PV throwing off excess during peak is fine - if we have storage. Storage is has only recently become feasible, it would likely be utility-grade storage, Powerwall/home storage or Vehicle2Grid integration by the 2050 timeframe.
Storage cost being excessive means it's early adoption timeframe. As the need for it becomes clear options will open up.
- mlyle 4y ago> PV throwing off excess during peak is fine PV throwing off excess during peak is fine even if we don't have storage, because it means PV is adequate for a bigger fraction of the morning and evening (and in turn, the needs for storage become a little less because of the over-provisioning of production).
