Solar on rural rooftops

For city dwellers there should be opportunity to put up solar on rural rooftops with net metering of the energy. Some energy will be consumed by the property owner for which he can be charged by grid at their rates and city slicker will get credits for the same. It is like wheeling.
That way rural guys get power, city slicker gets hedge against inflation, grid gets lower blackouts, can claim to have catered to the rural poor and butter from both sides.

If they are putting up 4000 MW of Solar PV in a locality which consumes maybe 10% of the energy, they will need a hot air balloon, small aircraft for the local grid guy to keep a watch on Sunrise/Sunset, Dust Storms, and the odd cloud cover. The power going on/off due to the above mentioned factor will be like a Tsunami for the regional grid.

Would it not be better to provide unified purchase power for locals to add solar to their roofs at nominal upfront costs and then monthly charges payable by them to the grid offset by some extent to the grid paying nominal rent to the house owners + evacuating surplus power. Of course a few 100 MW can be put up for photo op.
It would also help if some power consuming enterprise is set up there - which works in the morning - to eat a certain load.  For the transmission infra idle at night a conventional power plant will be needed.
