Peak load is after dark usually. Good luck.

Well then they’ll just have to use their peak power when the sun is shining, or, if that’s too much to ask, they can plug their Tesla into their houses and run their houses off the battery in that car.
Well, anyway, I like to do idiot postings once in a while. I watched non-technical types looking at solar panels during a public exhibition a while ago (probably not leftists, but it doesn’t matter).
You could see how their minds worked - all one has to do is put them up and free power is on the way. Things like off-pointing due to fixed positioning, sub-optimal positioning, due to roof availability, shadows, cloudy days (often many in a row), short days (particularly in the north during winter), dirt, snow, and God knows what else...none of that matters to them, just put up the panels and the power will flow!, along with subsidies. That’s why they’re in Northern UK, Scandinavian, Seattle, etc.
It’s hard to win the battle when the other side flat-out lies, and the people in the middle, the unwashed masses, simply don’t know who to believe.
The best option, of course, is to simply let THE MARKET decide. If solar is so great for Seattle, then people who live there should be buying it, without subsidies. If they don’t, it says a lot.
