> Even Germany today has way more solar capacity than it ever had in nuclear

That's because it never had much nuclear capacity, not because it now has a lot of solar

I don't know what you mean by "much", but Germany has a peak power capacity of 56 GW of Solar. On good days the output comes close to the nuclear output of France, which is mostly nuclear in power production. German wind power occasionally eclipses French nuclear power production.
