    Well there is one problem with negative electricity prices though. It’s that you’re gonna have to pay to produce electricity, charge batteries you might not have, or disconnect from the grid. I suspect fancy new inverters allow doing the latter automatically, but people with older setups will have to either do it manually by the hour when prices go negative, or upgrade their setup.

    Good news is that negative electricity prices also apply to fossil fuels so there’s incentive to reduce production there too.

      The good thing about the old systems that are too dumb to take curtailment orders is they are small

      Inverters made in the last few years can respond to curtailment orders or could after a software update
