I'm not sure I'd call their conclusion shit. It's harder to get people to build solar if they have to pay people to take the power or trigger the emergency shutdowns.

They end with a discussion on how to fix it, not some claim we shouldn't do solar because it can't turn a profit. Batteries, shifting demanding use to be during peek solar production hours, or sharing power better between grids and the like.
