The real problem is losses in power lines getting electricity to where it needs to be from where solar is viable. Also lots and lots of batteries on the grid for night time

There are HVDC lines already that are over 1,000 miles. There's even one connecting Washington state with Los Angeles. Transmission losses are under 3%.
