That's only aspirationally true, unfortunately. *Right now* the power
Do you mean "conditionally"?
from my solar panel would go to the grid instead and, assuming no solar
arrays in the local network are throttled due to overproduction, cause
some kilos of CO₂ to not be emitted.
This assumes, of course, that the solar array *can* feed to the grid
(and the attached battery, if any, isn't full).
I might be priviledged in south of Germany (but I hear from friends and relatives the same is true in many other places in Europe), but real situation here is that there are already so many solar panels connected to the grid that, when the sun is shining, the grid is basically saturated with green solar power and any extra solar energy collected is just going to be wasted anyway.
