While I agree with underestimating capacity, the problem only really applies to off grid.

For regular homes, it just means less savings.

It means some other infrastructure (fossil fuels?) needs to take up the slack, and people underestimate actual costs at larger scales.

It’s the big issue in Germany for instance - it’s all fun and games until Winter.
