Germany counts a bunch of incredibly dumb stuff as "renewables," including wood burning, which is just one of the many reasons Germany's emissions are far higher than France's (another is continued support for coal use for political reasons). It gets only about 10% of its energy from solar.

Sadly it's not just Germany, the whole EU is transitioning from coal to wood in poor parts of the countries, and governments are helping in it.
