The problem with solar in the UK is that it doesn't generate power when

Then you adjust the output from the generators that don't come from solar?

After all, no generator has a constant load 24/7.

Which basically means that all solar farms produce 80% (at best) of
their installed capacity from gas, and wind farms at least 50%. So if
you want "zero" net carbon, then neither is much use unless you can find
a way of storing 7TWh of energy!





Drivel.
The wind blows all the time. It just moves about. Maters are improving as the
East West grid is built up.

Which shows Harry that you have a poor to nil concept of power
provision;(..


Mind you thats much the same as the average politician..

And FWIW wind today at 14:29 is 0.30 GW or 0.82% of the UK demand..


See if you can open this up its the wind thats blowing right now..
