Locally perhaps, nationally unlikely. The big generators can't be easily
throttled up and down, and lose efficiency when this has to be done.

Because of where it is metered, that is beyond the location of bulk supply
points, all UK domestic solar is viewed as reduced demand. Currently it is of
such a low level that it is operationally lost in the noise.
