For just over an hour on Sunday, October 11, 100 per cent of energy demand was met by solar panels alone.
"This is truly a phenomenon in the global energy landscape," Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) chief executive Audrey Zibelman said.
While it is sure impressive, it is also pretty pointless if you can only cover the energy demand for an hour. It's not just about an hour: you need to cover 100% all the time, day and night, summer and winter, every single day of the year.
