The constraint is both, which is the same problem PV suffers for grid use. You need sufficient quantity of energy when it’s demanded. That means gobs of storage; an order of magnitude more than typically beaded, and an over provisioning of PV capability to get through winter and other lulls in production capacity.

PV doesn’t solve any problems because it relies on full infrastructure to back it up.
