No, less. Around here, maybe 35% of our electricity comes from Nuclear. BUT the nuclear plant can go down sometimes too (almost instantly), so the local utility has to have enough SPINNING RESRVE to equal the largest unit (of 2) of the nuclear plant (900 MW). That amount of existing spinning

I think the real argument, at least in this case, is based on loss of revenue. If you get some of your power from solar, you aren't paying as much to the utility. But, they still need to maintain the same capacity, for the days when your solar doesn't produce. So, their costs stay the same (or

Generally speaking, grid tied inverters can handle more power in than their rated power out(plus losses). If they are running at the max output power they simply don't draws as much current from the array, that allows the voltage to go up, and current goes down, and they are no longer
