Not only that, solar is entirely misaligned with power requirements. Over the year it may be 1.5 over nuclear, but in the winter, when demand is highest, the amount of energy provided will be far less, on account of short days and low light - typically you get 1/10 of the energy in winter that you do in comparison to a summer day. So overproduction when unrequired, underproduction when required.
