"the problem is what to do when it gets dark"

Batteries (or pumped storage hydro, which is more like a gravity-driven capacitor)

Starting this year, in Romania you cannot put new PV capacity online without the storage for it, is mandatory. Possibly for existing ones, but I am not sure.

		They're being installed but it's going to take a while.
