I'm pretty sure that any concern about this matter was only generated thanks to mass-media yellow press trying to invent catastrophe from thin air, or maybe just trying to give renewable energy a bad image. The numbers may seem large, but as mentioned, any day to night transition would be way worse than any solar eclipse, and yet, nothing explodes.
The eclipse is just a small moving spot where the sun is totally eclipsed, the rest of the area is dimmed. Doesn't seems like such a problematic issue for an interconnected power grid.
