What a load of cr@p. Night, storms, clouds, all reduce solar panels to zero or near-zero output. There's no reason to think a partial solar eclipse is anything but a minor hiccup, like a big storm-cloud passing overhead. The eclipse doesn't occur simultaneously everywhere in the state, and even if it did the effects would be negligible.
This is nothing but an excuse to talk nonsense.
This article is hogwash.
CLICK-BAIT.
Could the problem, if there is one, have to do with instability in the grid. Sudden power losses and subsequent unplanned surges can’t be good, can they?
