Not always. Over months of low wind, there will still be overcast days, and of course, there's that pesky little issue of the night.

Try and find some days where all of Europe is covered in clouds and there wasn’t wind.

Every night?

It's not clouds, but it's 0% solar efficiency.

Solar is still the energy source even if you’re using batteries.

The only question is if you can charge in the day not if there’s clouds at night.
