Solar feeds create a over voltage problem for the Grid which means they often switch off the feeds for stability reasons so Power companies don't need the power and won't pay high rebates.
Current flows from the highest voltage point to the lowest point so to push solar feeds down the line the Grid Voltage has to be raised. Too many snouts in the trough and you end up with voltages above 250v and that won't fly on a old 240v infrastructure system.
Solution is to average down the voltage and make everyone run on a 230v system but that means changing the the bulk of the infrastructure which costs big money.
