    Thanks that’s helpful.

    But right…?

    Solar plants can be reduced to rationalize supply.

    To my understanding. The bigger issue is you can’t as effectively do this with other non-renewables like coal/gas… so this not a solar problem but a problem of legacy power plants.

    So stupid. The narrative as well.

      Yea, more control over the panels will help with the overgeneration issue.

      But there’s other issues like ramping supply to meet peak demand and general generation during non-solar hours that still have to be addressed.

      Each have interesting proposals on how to solve them, but they haven’t been developed to the point that they’re ready to be put onto the grid at a large scale.
