It's more a supplemental when it comes to utility. It produces during the day which more power is consumed. If anything I think it would help fossil fuels keep running at a normal load. Solar and battery can fix some stability issues in the grid, but it's not meant to replace fossil, but does reduce some fossil fuel use.
