My bad I thought you meant solar powered in general.

If you could detect this rapid increase and then have some automated way of gradually exposing your reef to it it may work. Have a target par at waters surface equal to all your artificial lighting on at full power. Then detect what the sun provides. If it's greater than your target par have some dimming shields or something slide into the solar tubes and if it's less have your artificial lights ramp up.

It'd require some custom programming and equipment and dimming t5s/mh but that'd be pretty slick.
