Today, when there has been very little wind power, how much has solar power provided?

5.46 GWh.

Just let that soak in.

In total we use about 840 GWh a day at this time of year. So solar has contributed less than 1% of our power, and little at the times of peak demand in early morning and evening.

Solar capacity is not 14 GW, which means that today all of the solar farms up and down the country have worked at just 1.6% of their capacity.

A chocolate teapot would be more useful.
