Like turning them off... Which is fine. Turning off solar panels is literally built into the systems and can be automated
Sure, but you're not getting as much output from your panels as you could in total that way, making them less efficient overall. I'm not saying you can't run a power grid on this stuff, just that the adaptations to use them in a grid effectively have costs, and those costs are not exclusive to capitalism
