It should be noted that the US grid spans 3 time zones. Thus significant solar power can still be generated at 10pm EST. In summer.

Ok, forgive my incorrect wording. I meant it spans 3 hours coast to coast. You are correct, there ate more than 3 time zones in that.

Details matter. Thanks for the correction.
