There are entire neighborhoods where the solar panels on the roof don't generate much electricity.
The solar panels turn on. The local power circuit is saturated and the voltage reaches the maximum limit.
The solar panels turn off.
It can be fixed with multi-tap transformers, but the transformers we that are installed have a 25 year lifespan. So do we throw them out and replace them? Replacing the transformers on the poles will only allow the solar electricity to be used in the same suburb. Bigger transformers cost more.
The icing on the cake is that not everywhere would benefit from multi-tap transformers. There would have to be considerable study as to where to put them for the best effect. That takes a long time to do right and it isn't free.
