Regarding Gary's references to possible international transmission of power,
the U.K. and mainland Europe have their peak demand periods at different times, so Europe exports power to the U.k. to help cover their peak, and
later in the evening it is reversed to help cover Europe's peak.
If solar became huge around the world, places where it is daytime could
export to night time countries, thus avoiding the main drawback to solar.
