And yet sometimes I wonder. In the Uk you need most of your energy in the cold dark winter. So if you require enough non solar renewables to get you through the winter with net zero and those renewables are still available in the summer time are large scale solar not a bit redundant? Sunnier countries that have high electricity demand for air conditioning during the sunny periods would seem to have a better match mind.

It's usually windy when it's dark and cold and vice versa.

You should be wondering about the combination of solar + wind energy + short term storage + long term storage.

That's a weak correlation at best. What about when it's still weather in winter? It's not unusual at all.

Thats the question this guy asked, using actual weather data to power his models instead of carbon industry fluff.

Unfortunately the instinctive skeptical reaction to this is not "here's an alternative model and alternative data" but "here's even more FUD".
