Isn't it easier to modify the weather in an area populated with PV?

  Modify it how? We have some fairly blunt instruments like seeding clouds to modify weather, but those wouldn't be of much use here. Of course, it seems a lot more straightforward to build solar farms in Arizona or Algeria, though transmission is still a problem. Possibly they could be used to generate hydrogen for synthesizing fuels...

    True, seem to be harder to go the opposite way. Something noteworthy: China plans to halt rain for Olympics - http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-rain31jan31-story.html http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-rain31jan31-story.html

  That would mitigate the loss through shadow, but not the apparently much larger loss through diffusion in the atmosphere.
