This has been one of the worst times of the year for renewables - it has been cold, cloudy, rainy, and not very windy. Spot prices on the wholesale market apparently spiked to $12000

Where? Local to you perhaps but here in Queensland it's been amazing. That's a rather broad blanket statement for what is an entire continent.

He has a 13.5 KWh PowerWall and 5.2 KW of solar. He's barely used the grid in months and that's powering his Tesla 3 too.

We live on an entire continent.
