When did solar panels form society? Calm down your imagination.
You are saying that there is no way to disconnect solar panels from grid, which is obviously not true.
Or as heat.
We already have too much of that.
Build water desalination/carbon capture and storage/hydrogen generation plants that only run when the price goes below 0; even though these are very energy intensive, they would help stabilize the grid.
Basically opportunistic energy consumption.
most large solar arrays don't have this capability in any sort of automatic way
Look at this "manual" unplugger:
and at these levels of power it's a bit more complicated than "just unplug it".
Unplug many.
Solar panels are easily disconnectable. Unlike conventional power plants it does not have spinning rust, that can walk away entire building.
Higher frequency and voltage tolerance
Now imagine replacing all transformers with buck-boost converters...
Just have few percent of spare capacity. If suddenly it will become too sunny, you can just disconnect solar cells. If not sunny enough, then connect them back.
Obviously I'm talking only about day - the only time when solar panel output can fluctuate.
