The peak still occurs in the evening around 8-9pm. The chart I linked shows a drop in net demand around midday, due to solar's contribution. But my point is the mismatch between peak electricity demand and solar production, which is the same regardless.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoThat's all from the grids perspective, they only count their own solar and wind. Here's an animated diagram that explicitly calls out BTM (behind-the-meter) solar: https://isonewswire.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/btm_forecast_animation_v3.gif https://isonewswire.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/btm_forec...
