Thanks for the PDF. The article's fault is that it suggests that the fall in coal might be related to the increase in solar. Nevertheless, the fact remains that over a certain time period, solar energy production was higher than coal, which hadn't happened before. Given that wind and solar is seeing the highest growth in year over year generation, it's likely that this will be repeated in warm months again. Chart 5.6 on page 39 shows pretty clearly the drop in total production, and the changes in the sources.
