I'm not familiar with NordPool specifics but this is exactly right and is playing out in California and elsewhere too. Basically just the duck curve. Storage is all but required as solar covers 100% of midday load.
Long term it's a good thing. Medium term it means you'd be an idiot to install solar, unfortunately.
I'm not familiar with the Cali system, but if it's day-ahead pricing then it'd be similar to Nordpool.
