Are the dips in solar marking the winters of each year?
Makes sense. The windy season isn’t very sunny, and the sunny season isn’t very season. Hopefully this means that we’ll eventually be able to go full renewable energy year round.
This is a very nice graph put it in r/dataisbeautiful. You should add the sum too.

what about overnight
A “combined” line would be so useful and easy to do.
Wow! Its getting much windier and sunnier!!!
Wind and solar is the future.
We should start megaprojects in Europe for those.
Instead of a gas pipe to Putins pocket.
Well that’s convinient. If I’m thinking correctly, that decreases the needs for large-scale energy storage, right?
Well clouds usually are in lows thus wind flows in.
Wow, it’s as if power companies shut down windmills during the day because solar is then cheaper than wind, and then by the evening start up the wind mills….
Oh wait, that’s actually what is happening.
The word you are looking for is complement
Can we see nuclear? 😀
sin and cos
Ah, now I see why it is so windy at night in summer. And sunny at night in the winter.
isnt this completely expected considering the seasonality of wind and sun?
is that actually natural or are wind turbines just taken off the grid when the sun shines? Kind of does not make much sense to me why wind turbines would produce less power during the time the solar cells work best.
And there’s the fucking problem how we going through the winter ? Battery’s with bullshit Lithium ? Better is hydrogen but we need way more energy for that.

If you want to see it in a [daily or weekly basis](https://twitter.com/hokkos/status/1480681700707475462?s=21).
