SA (South Australia, not South Africa, unfortunately) reached 48.3% renewables in its grid in Q1 2019. So far this quarter, it's reached 77%, with 27% coming from rooftop solar!!
SA in Oz shows us what can be done. It has no hydro, and just two "thin" interconnectors with the rest of the east coast grid. (they're building a third)
A classic mid-latitude geography, it has excellent wind and solar resources. Its model can be followed in all mid-latitude areas.
It *can* be done.
