Man of Honour
Not fully true
When you look at the micro level, those with solar see immediate reductions in their bills
When you look at the macro level, because people with solar generate bit also store and use in peak times the costs of the grid at peak times are being pulled down. All that extra very expensive generation for peak times is being used less and less.
Sooner or later I think time of use based charging will have to come in and that will also have an impact. Encouraging those most willing to move to cheaper times, and hence giving a flatter grid usage and more usage encouraged to be when green generation is high.
Technically it should end up creating cheaper electricity for everyone the more people use solar/renewables, that said I don't think we'll see that unless there's some sort of legal intervention.
