In my opinion the installation of more PV systems would reduce the load in daytime on the grid, specially in summer when everybody runs air-cons.
For example my installation of 3 kWp produces now in Jan from 9AM-3PM more or less the amount of electricity I use in the house at that time without importing or exporting electricity to the grit. (2 air-cons, pool pump sometimes, fridges, electronics...)
Also I would make it compulsory that any new pool installed must have a solar pool pump as electric pool pumps are next to air-cons the largest consumers of electricity in CY. Again it would effect the grid only positive....
