Beyond a general "solar as baseload" type search for lots of articles, I can't find the specific paper I had read.

This was the closest I could find http://theconversation.com/renewable...heres-how-2221

I'll keep checking. The gist of it was that baseload isn't a thing about the plants themselves, but a statistical attribute of the plants and grid together. It did have a baseload in a way from less variable sources, and the question I still had was how much extra generation capacity vs demand is needed.
