Triff, i think the idea behind the standard offer for solar was that it is pumped into the grid, when it is needed most, at peak periods of the day... that's why the high price for solar.
I am sure the devious brain is hard at work...get on the solar 20 year inflation adjusted plan and add wind power later <g> for .42 cents.
Ontario is in the process of going to smart meters so the cost of using electricity will be way up for peak periods of the day..thus if wind power is created, batteries would make sense...my opinion, storage just makes sense all around for those extra gigs produced in the middle of the night by hydro,wind, coal or whatever for use at peak demand.
