The problem with solar in the UK is that it doesn't generate power when
we need it most.

Then you adjust the output from the generators that don't come from solar?

After all, no generator has a constant load 24/7.

Which basically means that all solar farms produce 80% (at best) of
their installed capacity from gas, and wind farms at least 50%. So if
you want "zero" net carbon, then neither is much use unless you can find
a way of storing 7TWh of energy!
