But that's not your usage of Enmax lines. Solar peak production is around noon but peak consumption is late afternoon to mid-evening. Basically you're using Enmax as an incredibly reliable and high capacity battery and you consume only a fraction of your solar generation.

Better yet since it's so uneconomical there's no reason to incentivize it all and any subsidies (if any) for solar should be at the utility scale.
