Does this include residential solar? How do they measure or estimate that?

I suppose they can compare actual grid usage with household data to estimate off-grid usage.

incredible milestone, but getting the power where it needs to go and storing it at scale are still the biggest problems. making the power is solved, moving it is next.

I think I'm missing your point. I'm under the impression that electricity has never been easy or cheap to move very far, and it's not clear to me how solar-generated electricity is different in that respect.
