        Aren’t the issues it causes mostly because the grid was designed to deliver power from plants?

        I mean, aren’t they solvable problems?

          I wouldn’t really know. I just know there’s some kind of issue with that.

          And regardless it’s true that it’d be a waste of resources to duplicate a “margin-for-error” on every single house to ensure the fridge keeps running all year round.

            Not really. If the solar on people’s roofs is part of the network. The network needs to be able to manage peaks and troughs in demand no matter how the power is produced.
