comments like this really show that many people with strong opinions do not understand how the electricity grid, electricity markets or electricity economics work.

Electricity is priced at the edge entirely because demand must match supply at all times. You either meet all electric demand or someone will go without power. This is why marginal pricing exists and this is why the most expensive generator is always the last to be accepted. This is why electricity at night is cheaper that during the day.

Please, if you do not understand what you are talking about, it's ok to just say that you don't know. Don't spread misinformation like this.

There's also more to it than just that. Supply-demand imbalance affects the frequency on the grid. Too high or too low frequency damages the turbines in the base load power plants, and they will shut down to avoid damage if the frequency goes too far out of range. Hence, too little or too much power actually causes grid collapse.

Solar actually has to be managed a lot more carefully than people realise.
