    Yeah I understand storing and using the energy is obviously a better solution than to stop producing the energy. But in the short term, in the context of large solar arrays, until we have storage solutions or ways to store the excess, covering the panels up or turning them to face the ground for a bit doesn’t seem like a very big logisticical hurdle.

    There are many roof top solar systems on people’s houses. That’s what I’m referring to regarding logistical nightmare.

    Are there really enough residential rooftop panels for this to even be a problem? And couldn’t it be solved just by installing a battery for your home to store the excess? Again, if you could explain how this would be a logistical nightmare for my ignorant self, I’d appreciate it.
