The duck curve somewhat exists without any solar.
The real problem is people and businesses shifting peak power later as compared to historical.
In yeah olde times the power demand from 5-10pm was much lower than today and the demand curve was much different (even 20 years ago peak power was earlier)
So the answer to the problem is to (as a population) get people to wake earlier or much later and alter business hours.
My guess is pricing plus unpopular policies could motivate some interests to alter their hours of operation to kill the duck.
