If you look at peak load versus base load solar can fill that demand perfectly and "flatten the curve".
If anyone was going to need limit solar installs it would be California, about half of the 2 million solar installs have been done there most of those in the southern half of the state.
So only about 0.5% of homes have solar panels, generate around 1% of electricity used.
I'm pretty sure it's not too much uncontrolled power being dumped onto the grid.
The problem is the power companies will have to change, some have been around for 100 years so they don't want to change.
