AIUI that won't work, because of the cost structures.
Nuclear power has very long planning horizon and the high fixed costs mean that it needs to run fairly near capacity. AIUI you can't run a nuclear plant profitably if it's idle whenever the sun shines, so you could say that deploying nuclear blocks solar. Or put the other way around, letting company X have the option of deploying solar later blocks company Y from building nuclear now.
