Certainly not universal. Could be true in California or Texas, possibly. For sure it's not here.

Where I live, the peak is a winter morning which is windless and therefore particularly cold, at 8:00 (before sunrise). Solar output is zero, wind power output is zero. Everyone turns extra heaters on, puts the kettle on to make a hot cup before taking a warm shower.

The point isn't that it is 100% universal for all places. The point is that it is true for most places.
