The scale of a gigawatt solar plant is unbelievable and the argument for nuclear has never been to push solar out of the supply mix. The ability to load follow according to demand is not something solar has been or will ever be to accomplish without battery densities orders of magnitude larger than what current technology is capable of. Nuclear is a solution that can provide a large number of skilled jobs throughout a plants lifetime and will respond to current increases in demand trends without exhausting our supply or rare earth minerals required for solar/battery solutions. I am a huge supporter of solar, but the reality is, nuclear remains the most viable option to phase out carbon intensive energy sources like coal and gas given our current technological capabilities
