Its 5.30 and Dark, WHAT will we do, page-5

You are being silly again

We use solar when it's available and if you have roof top panels it cost you nothing, you may export some of it and while you don't get much for it it offsets the cost of power you need to import.

If you have solar panels and battery you could generate enough power for all 24 hours or at worse pay for a small amount of power.

Australia has the highest uptake of solar globally, with around 30% of homes with rooftop solar PV.

As of 31 January 2022, more than 3 million rooftop solar PV systems have been installed across Australia.

3,000MW of solar in terms of contributing energy to the system

How much coal does it take to power 1000 MW?

Coal plants require enormous amounts of coal. Shockingly: a 1000 MWe coal plant uses 9000 tonnes of coal per day, equivalent to an entire train load (90 cars with 100 tonnes in each!).
