You can cut it, but how? If you don't have a system in place, thousands of private home will be injecting power into the grid because they don't know any better. In extreme cases it could overload the grid. Not really explode, but cause voltage spikes, trip breakers, and ultimately (and somehow ironically) cause a blackout as the grid protection mechanisms kick in.
I Germany all new installations need to be able to be remotely controlled to prevent grid feed in when there's too much production.
