People also don’t realize that too much power is just as bad as too little, worse in fact. There’s always useful power sinks: pumped hydro, batteries, thermal storage, but these are not infinite.
Stupid question but can we not like, make toggleable solar panels? Like if I Just pull the plug extracting power from a solar panel does it explode or break or something?
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.

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