While Canada lags behind in solar adoption, many places including Germany, China, Japan and even the United States are moving quickly.
In fact, on certain days, some places are generating so much energy, the price to purchase it is dropping below zero, prompting concerns about storage capacity for the abundant power source.
Actually, lack of capacity is pro-petro propaganda. In Ontario demand and generation can literally double in a week and still be within the normal range. Using smart charging (not SmartTM) it would be easy to recharge commuter vehicles overnight in such a way that the baseload is increased making the grid MORE stable, not less.
