I find that if solars are set up properly, you don't get brownouts at all. I don't think solar output should be reduced, but perhaps instead of everything being automated you should need to set the panel facing and rotation speed/direction manually (and thus actually have a reason to use the solar console). I understand this used to be the case and proved too difficult to bother with, but perhaps this is a good time to reintroduce it since we're moving away easy singularity mentality.
