You could also have a power grid and distribute the excess electricity to the next state where it's cloudy. Or do other things with it. Or build the AI datacenters there that Google etc are currently planning to provide with amall nuclear reactors...

Transporting electricity isn’t easy, you have to have large enough interconnects to handle the energy you’re moving around.

Entire Europe is connected. Sure we're still missing quite some cables to get the regeneratives to where they're needed. But it's no problem to move around quite some energry across parts of a continent.
