    In the US, peak electricity demand is during summer, due to air conditioning.

    What you’d ideally like is, if your generation is non-dispatchable, for demand to more-or-less track when power is available. In general, solar is going to tend to be generating at the right times if your peak load is from air conditioning, and the wrong times if your peak load is from heating.

    Lol… So your bright solution to demand peaks in winter is becoming so wasteful that you manage to need even more in summer?
