If you can get electricity for free 12 hours a day and pay for it the other 12,

Which is to say you will still need a grid with a very similar capacity regardless of your solar cell investment.

Now where shall that capacity come from? Solar cells ? Wind (same lousy energy density as Solar).

Yup.Fortunately, we already have one.

Where it's cost-effective, yes. Most of our energy for the foreseeable future will continue to come from the same sources as today; my point is that there isn't, and won't be soon, a single replacement.
