As I've said before, rated capacity and actual production are two different things. When the sun's not shining, solar's not making a dime. Can you imagine life in Germany using only solar in January as observed by the chart? You'd have electricity for just a few hours a day, IF you were lucky enough to be able to afford it.

I know how energy storage works. My question to you is, are you going to send the electrons out to the grid to be used now or are you going to store them for later use? You can't have it both ways without a huge surplus.
