Desert solar is extremely predictable. On the rare cloudy desert day, which you can predict half a week in advance, you increase prices statically or dynamically (for e.g. 15min intervals) to force preemptive load-shedding. This requires enough solar to break even over 24h in the winter, and enough storage to cover the night. You need large HVDC lines, however.
