What if we do something becsuse its a net food, and who cares if there is a positive or negative price because tying everything ever to monitary value is cancer on society.
The reason the price goes negative is that there’s too much electricity being produced and not enough being used. The grid isn’t a magical electricity sink. Things will break if the frequency raises too much due to overvoltage. I hate money and capitalism as much as the next guy here, but this dynamic is based on material realities, not market scheming.
Here is an idea.

Okay but you’re still free to do that. Put up solar panels and PAY for the privilege of producing electricity when there’s not enough demand.
If you do it on a large enough scale, you can probably bankrupt some coal plants or something.
