Simple Physics Solutions to Storing Renewable Energy ? NOVA Next | PBS
This is an interesting article about some problems encountered for a large solar installed base.
I still think solar is the best long term solution moving forward, but we should do so
with our eyes open to the limitations.
As the article points out and I have said before, energy storage is the key.

While an eclipse is rare, it demonstrates some of the limitations of solar power.Then the eclipse happened. Immediately before, German solar panels were pumping out a combined 21.7 GW of electricity. At the eclipse’s peak, it dropped to 6.2 GW, and rebounded to 15 GW after the moon had passed.
