I guess a big part of that is because they need other types of fuel sources more than electric.

That's partly due to the capacity factor of solar, which ranges from about 13%, in the North East for example, to maybe 20% in Arizona.

Wind can be a little higher. Biomass, hydro and geothermal can be over 90%.
