Rooftop solar has installed capacity of 20 GW but today total production of solar on AEMO site is 3595 MW, there is a massive difference between installed capacity of renewables and production.
Today black coal is producing 11.2 GW 24/7 and that is the challenge,
We have 9.9 Kw system, and we will eventually get a battery and that will need to be replicated across Australia to help with the challenge but now we are generating 250 W so Australia will need another big source of power and at the moment we do have gas in Victoria, but we have a pig-headed government that is in denial about there being much more gas available, under pressure from Bowen for the first in 10 years they have granted a production permit.
Given that in Victoria gas is used in most houses and by many companies it is estimated that a switch away from gas will need a 50 % increase in power production.
