While the dunkelflaute has already lasted a week, and appears to be carrying for another, as well as having little wind power, we have little solar power either.
The days have been uniformly dull and grey until today, and at its peak on Saturday only hit 877 MW, only 4.9% of capacity.

Average output that day was just 164 MW.
What is the logic of spending billions of pounds on carpeting perfectly good farm land with solar panels which are no use at all in winter?
