Yes and no. As I understand it -- most of the network improvements are to do with Peak Load. (ie -- the days where it's 45 degrees C and every household is cranking A/C). Solar PV definately helps reduce those few days a year Peaks.
In the Australian context -- as I understand it -- the Privatization of the Electricity Generators was such that they are legislated to only charge a fixed % of their costs. So the only way for them to make more money is to increase their cost-base (aka "Gold Plating") and then charge their customers the additional fees.
