Another challenge for solar is its location specificity. Since solar resource cannot be transported to the generation sites like fossil fuels, additional costs for electricity transmission occur to meet spatially distributed demand. Estimates for grid costs are scarce and there is no common methodology.
Can the grid accommodate all the power produced by solar?
Most of the time, the grid can accommodate all the power produced from solar because there is sufficient demand for electricity. The curtailment occur only when production exceeds demand in a particular region due to high penetration, which is a rare event till now.
