    It is a financial problem. Technically you can just cover the solar panels. But that’s not good financially.

      Your “technically you can” is actually a huge logistical nightmare to implement.

      Having electricity rates go really low is intended to incentivize people or companies to sink the excess energy to wherever they can. And also to discourage producers to produce more at that hour, if they are able to.
