Should reach grid parity in Italy next year, most of Europe by 2020 and the UK by 2030.

That's assuming trends continue as they currently are.  Which is something that never happens.

Is grid parity where it produces enough energy to meet the current production of the National Grid, just not all necessarily at the right time?

Speaking of which, the complete absence of capacity from that discussion made me very suspicious.

Sure... but there's not much point getting excited about grid parity if solar power's only going to be able to provide 0.5% of our electricity, eh?
