The entire compliant around "excess solar" from urban rooftops seems really strange to me though.

Is it really that hard to find ways to make use of irregular excess power?

Or is the real problem that we've spent a hundred years building fossil fuel powered solutions to things, but now we have new alternatives open to us.

Think how many chemical manufacturing techniques are energy intensive, and hence can be ramped up or down with energy supply.
