Having said that at current growth rates for Solar PV, I think it might have been shown that before 2025 this could perhaps occur, of course we can't predict such strong growth that far into the future with certainty. However stranger things in the world have happened. I suspect the reality is though that no single energy source will be reliable enough to be solely depended upon.
It's very exciting news that a common education has been reached to the people about this, tho.

That is exactly what advertising, not to mention an owned system, obfuscates.

(I'm not entirely sure obfuscates is a word but it sounds good, lol!)

PV will become so huge very soon, surely?!?
