Note that the combined electricity usage of the Netherlands is like 14-16GW (source https://www.rabobank.com/knowledge/d011428288-the-dutch-electricity-sector-part-3-developments-affecting-electricity-markets )
so that means from 9:00 to 18:30 ish, the entire country's electrical usage is met purely by solar panels alone, with gigawatts spare during the peaks.
We need batteries, badly. I really wish they would use them more effectively, because as it stands today it seems like they consider it extra load instead of alleviating the load.
