There are several ideas to dump the "waste" energy as you call it.
Why is there not a synchronous inverter to sell it back to the utility?
Why is there not a battery bank for storage?
You could also dump it into a large insulated water storage tank to offset water heating costs?
Or my favorite,
Run the excess energy into the largest Tesla coil you can find.
