    25% on an island known for being covered in clouds and rain… and they say it’s non-viable in the states somehow

    Surely it isn’t from domestic solar?

        Sorry, I was reading domestic as I’m residential rooftop.

        Sounds good and the install base is only going up!

      Not residential solar, no. In fact, we don’t have proper data for how much is generated by residential as it just appears as a reduction in demand.

      So just read the figures on the web as “…after residential solar”.
