The solar companies here take another tack since pure solar isn't feasible
this far north. According to them when the sun is shining you pump
electricity into the grid, giving you credits when you're pulling from the
grid. Even then I assume their payback figures are well cooked.

Is the grid prepared for this working at scale? And it seems to me that all solar would "sell" at the same time, driving down the price to zero or even creating an excess, while all the ones in this system would need energy at the same time (night) driving the price up, therefore again, needing some kind of storage.
