I don't think one really has to burn off solar capacity? Just raise the inverter input to match the voltage and no current will flow. Would be kind pointless to waste the capacity though, I think Sweden or somewhere had success with melting salt with excess power.
are you thinking of the finnish sand battery?
Ah that's the one, yep
The incoming sunlight will still get converted into electrical energy, it's just going to get burned of right there inside the panel instead of somewhere else on the grid.
