      Not terribly counterintuitive, this has been a widely known issue with intermittent power sources since forever. They’re often feast or famine power sources when the grid needs reliable, and power draw increases when people go home from work, which coincides with the time of day that solar output decreases. Generation is still a problem if we want to ramp up to it covering a majority of the grid, but you’re right that storage is the more immediate problem
