Indeed, sorry.

Decentralizing solar power reduces electricity transmission costs and improves reliability. This doesn't offset the additional cost, but it's not negligible.

If the grid gets heavily overloaded, the frequency and voltage drop. And home-based grid-tie solar will shut itself off when it's most needed. This is fragile and DEcreases reliability.

Storage, such as batteries coupled with V2G and also green-hydrogen fed turbo-alternators, can alleviate this.
