You don't. No one said it has to be all solar everywhere.

Wind and solar are already core sources in some places.

In many places, a decent solution to the night-time solar problem is natural gas power stations. We built them already.

Finland will use Finland-appropriate solutions. That has very little to do with the appropriateness of solar in Mumbai or Phoenix.
