If there is one given application for solar power I'd say it is to avoid these silly power peaks when the sun shows its power. Given that it is the presence of the sun which creates the (often imaginary) need for air conditioning it is a no-brainer to run that air conditioning off a bunch of PV panels. Now that these have gone down in price so much that their purchase price is but a fragment of that of an HVAC installation I see no reason to forego on this component. With electricity prices going up during periods of high use - if not now then in the not too distant future, where I live (Sweden) the price varies by the hour - this is an investment which will pay back for itself in less than a decade while PV panels last for at least 25 years.
