It's not sustainable or efficient to continue subsidising solar at this point. If we paid wholesale prices for electricity generated by solar customers, incentives would shift - getting 0-5c on your solar energy would demonstrate that the grid doesn't actually need more energy during the day - the 50c+ prices in the evening would show that we need more batteries (or other dispatchable power)
Like once we start referring to the solar industry trade group as Big Solar or Big Clean Energy...
solar + 12 hour LiFePO storage is cheaper than nuclear TCO, in all US territories south of canada. today ( except tariffs, so... who benefits? big solar or big russia, big UAE ? ) get ......! XD

There's huge swing between day-time (think AC and factories) usage and night-time (people sleeping ...).
In the limit, we have a grid where people make their own power during the summer and the grid only sells during winter (and rare extended cloudy periods). Imagine what rates would have to look like in that situation.
