I disagree. When you make a $10,000 investment in a solar array, any sun
that falls on it and does not give you retail value in return for the
electricity is truly a wasted economic value. With GT, there is no such
thing as wasted, or excess power, its all converted to $$$ on your
electric bill. And that is what lead the Solar explosion about a decade
ago. No batteries, no maintenance, but economic power for life... at
Half the cost of the utility...

I agree. It would be a stupid design that burned it up as heat. Any sane
design would just turn off or throttle back the inverter. The energy isn't
"wasted" any more than the sunlight that falls on a sidewalk or street is
"wasted".
It does lead to an interesting question: If you have excess electric
power, what can you do with it to accomplish some useful purpose?
Provide free public EV charging? Light up a greenhouse to grow more food?
Run a freezer to store more food?
