Except when it’s night. That happens about once a day, last time I heard.

You make a good point about "night" as you call it. I've actually been in west Texas at "night" many times...mostly on I-10. I think I-10 in west Texas at night is where deer come to die.

I do think that west Texas gets quite a bit of "day" as well, and done right, it could probably take care of much of the grids' daytime power needs.
