    Not really. You can discharge into the ground, but for large installations even the ground has a limited (local) capacity.

    Edit: explain yourselves, downvoting cowards

      Could they not just break the circuit for the panel, and stop it feeding back into the mains?

        Yeah. My understanding is that most large solar complexes don’t have this capability, at least not in any efficient automatic way, but most home solar systems do.

        My understanding is that most large solar arrays don’t have this capability in any sort of automatic way, and at these levels of power it’s a bit more complicated than “just unplug it”.

          Look at this “manual” unplugger:

          Unplug many.

            “Everything is so fucking simple that I can easily figure out the solutions to giant societal problems with 15 minutes of googling” is the dumbest take I’ve heard all day. Granted it’s only 6am but still.

            Maybe you’re not fucking Sun Tzu, Einstein and Jesus rolled in to one and there might be the occasional issue that’s slightly more complicated than your armchair quarterback solutions.

            Christ you people piss me off.

              societal

              When did solar panels form society? Calm down your imagination.

              You are saying that there is no way to disconnect solar panels from grid, which is obviously not true.

      I have no idea what i am talking about… But what would happen if you pulled a black tarp over the panel? Could even be automatic like the blends on a building. And even partial.
