You should look at what prices solar and storage are actually being deployed at. Your comment is very much saying things can't be done while people are actually doing it.
I have very much looked at what the prices are doing and the answer is "making my employer filthy rich and making the grid unsustainable over the next decade".
Solar and batteries are eating the profit from base load and peak generators. Yet are unable to provide the sustained power requirements to keep the grid going on a day that gets over 35C.
If you like having power in hospitals at all hours you can't let solar and battery storage invade the grid without regulating it such that the grid survives.
Nationalization of the grid assets and a massive nuclear building spree is the only solution if we want children to grow up in a world where brownouts are the exception.
Turns out telling businesses what they can and can't do just means they hire smarter people to do what they want in more convoluted ways.
If you have time, I’d suggest reading the following, and — if you feel like it — rephrasing your argument: https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Inferential_distance
Unfortunately you tick neither box.
If you're interested my hourly rate for this type of work is $300, you're welcome to commission a report on the country of your choice.
I totally understand the sentiment; thing is, this isn’t a quant forum, it’s mostly tech, and even then more software than hardware — either you should take the downvotes as a hint to simplify, or as a hint to not bother with that topic here.
Again, I really do sympathise with your frustration: no matter how I try, I can’t get non-programmers to understand even the basics of cryptography and why police master-keys/backdoors are a bad idea.

I'm not sure even you know what you want.
Only in America could the two be conflated.
A market does not work for a natural monopoly.
Usage and production are two different things. You can produce more energy than you need and have a stable grid by just throwing money at the problem. In 2016, you had EEX spot prices around 2-3 ct/kWh, below the production cost of any technology. This signals waste and it's also a major reason why renewables rollouts stalled in Europe.
