Or just install twice the solar panels, if they're getting cheap enough. Or put them 4 time zones East (they will have to float in some cases) and send the electricity West.

Better yet, go crazy with daylight savings, moving everything by 5 hours.

The sun will be high in the sky at 5-7pm, generating power when we need it most.

This is a good idea, except electricity transmission costs are significant over long distances like that.
