No Wind, No Sun, No Power!

While the wind stopped blowing last week, solar power was even more useless, despite some sunny days:

While on a couple of days, it peaked at over 4GW, unfortunately in winter it soon starts getting dark again!

And by Wednesday, the cloud had set in reducing that peak by threequarters.

For the four days between the 21st and 24th, the period we examined earlier, estimated solar output averaged 358MW, just 2.7% of capacity, and less than 1% of UK demand.
