6. An empty gas tank.. the fly in your petrol powered ointment..
Umm. DUH ever hear of a thing called a STORAGE BATTERY?

Your argument is ridiculously simplistic and pretends like there is no such thing as a storage battery.

The obvious answer to your "dilemma" is to size your solar array appropriately to account for the climate in your region and for night time of course. If your average usage is 2kW then sizing your array for 6kW would easily account for "cloudy days" and nighttime.
