I addition to what others noted, this can also create an equality issue. Say you are a working class renter in a town of well-off home owners who have solar panels on their houses. They are likely as dependent as you on the grid when the sun isnt shining, but because they can sell back to the grid. They contribute much less to paying for the grid.

The grid that everyone relies on is therefore disproportionately funded by poorer individuals. Its the same problem with all the subsidies on electric cars and solar installations; you have to be decently wealthy to be able to take advantage.

I wish there was a place where smart people could gather to solve problems like this. You know, maybe invent a device that takes the electricity when it is cheap (when the invisible hand of the free market wants it) and gives it back to the grid when the price has risen because there is no longer that much sunshine.

When an infinite growth mindset meets nearly infinite growth potential, capitalists complains about sustainability.

Rules are made up, as are property rights. Any idea that you have a right to, or that nobody can, own the sunshine, is you being foolish. There was once a sunshine tax on windows. If they want your money, or someone wants ownership, they'll just write the rules that way and enforce it through violence, as usual. Never underestimate how truly cruel and greedy the wealthy and powerful are.

Don't worry, the market will adapt to solar becoming a better product.

Isn't that what you always tell us?

It's kind of a ridiculous "problem" with easy fixes, that are long known.

There's high demand on Hydrogen. It's fairly easy to produce Hydrogen via electrolysis (storage/logistics is another issue, but that is also true for blue hydrogen...). It could also be processed further to Methane or even Gas for cars...

If there's a will...
