Solar power generation causes line damage
Do solar storms affect the power grid?
Solar storms can generate geomagnetic currents that overload transmission lines, which may cause lines to fail or activate protection systems, resulting in power outages.

Impacts of Solar and Auroral Storms on Power Line Systems
Abstract: Geo-electromagnetic activity gives rise to electric potential differences between different points on the earth''s surface (earth surface potentials) which cause extraneous quasi DC currents to enter
