sunshine at night, anybody?

Definitely! The Spaniards had a solar power plant generating electrickery 24 hours a day.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo found that between November and January, 4500 megawatt hours (MWh) of solar energy were sold to the electricity grid between midnight and seven in the morning.

It has been suggested that some plants in the regions of Castilla-La-Mancha, Canarias and Andalucía have been using diesel generators connected to their solar panel arrays to illegally benefit from government subsidies.

Spanish nighttime solar energy fraud

Definitely a nice little earner for the rich people...
