Instantly dropping loads may be possible, but if it is the
only short term balancing mechanizm, then effect on loads may

 That option will become less effective as a greater proportion of the
supply is generated by renewables.  Dropping the load may also drop a
significant proportion of the supply from local solar and wind sources.
 

In general local solar is only seen as a reduction in usage - all that is seen is the net consumption.
