Nah, just overprovision like crazy and store what you can.

Germany has currently around 1.5kW of solar installed per person - even in October this yields double-digit GWs at 9am. They can't put all that power to use in summer, but it sure puts a damper on prices off season.

Sure, storage is still being built as there's a market for it, but for now it's still cheaper to just build more solar capacity.
