    1. Unplug solar panel array
    2. Less electricity being generated
    3. Profit (for the power company)

      My understanding is that most large solar arrays don’t have this capability in any sort of automatic way, and at these levels of power it’s a bit more complicated than “just unplug it”.

        This seems like a massive oversight on behalf of the park designers.

          One of many issues caused by the assumption that solar would only ever be a minor part of the grid.

              They currently have breaker switches, they need something more granular and automated

        Look at this “manual” unplugger:

        Unplug many.

          “Everything is so fucking simple that I can easily figure out the solutions to giant societal problems with 15 minutes of googling” is the dumbest take I’ve heard all day. Granted it’s only 6am but still.

          Maybe you’re not fucking Sun Tzu, Einstein and Jesus rolled in to one and there might be the occasional issue that’s slightly more complicated than your armchair quarterback solutions.

          Christ you people piss me off.

            societal

            When did solar panels form society? Calm down your imagination.

            You are saying that there is no way to disconnect solar panels from grid, which is obviously not true.
