Yes. But adding these intermittents to the grid has made the price of electricity in Germany among the highest in the world for developed countries.

Well... It was 20% of electrical production from the wind. The solar only peaked at 17% capacity factor. For a couple hours. What was the area under the graph for the day as a percentage of the total consumption? Today was much sunnier and since it was Saturday the total electrical consumption was lower. But they do show some very effective demand control today.

The solar in Cali always looks funny since many panel installs have been incentivised to face more to the West.
