Yes -- the alignment between peak solar production and peak demand isn't 
perfect, but it's not that far off. As a result, there's massive profits to be 
had in arbitrage -- for the utilities to buy surplus solar and sell it to 
neighbors rather than fire up their most expensive peaking plants, and to repay 
solar producers with surplus dirt cheap overnight baseload electricity that 
would otherwise just go to waste.

But massive profits from arbitrage aren't enough, so they're killing the goose 
that lays the golden eggs. And signing their own death warrants by doing so.
