Rooftop solar makes South Australia the world’s first gigawatt-scale system to hit negative demand.
One thing that angers me is that they said they may have to shut off some rooftop solar to cut back the supply. That “curtailment” should be made illegal. The law should require that all excess renewables generation be used to generate green hydrogen. The hydrogen must be stored and used to replace fossil fuel generation.
Once the renewables generation reaches 3 to 4 times the normal load, there will be enough renewables, storage and green hydrogen to generate all electricity at all times, even during peak maximum demand.
