What do you do when it's cloudy?

  Use other forms of electricity generation?

  In addition to using other forms of energy, you can also over provision. Solar panels still work when it’s cloudy. They just don’t produce as much power. And with a grid you can average cloud cover over a large area.

  That's why we have an electricity grid, it's not cloudly all the time all across the world, so even if we went full solar I don't see how it'd be problematic.

  Thankfully when it’s cloudy, your peak loads from AC are a lot lower.
