Now do December/January, those are the hard months for solar.

One step at a time. But wind will likely always do better than solar in winter.

It's not so bad if you take wind & hydro into account. Germany managed over 56% renewables in January (and over 70% in June!) Those are really great numbers.
-
Great stuff, just needs some mass-produced cheap industrial batteries to buffer inter-day variation and some backup to ensure winter.

We’re working on it, climate change is accelerating…

Mid-winter, there is usually quite some wind. See the graph in the link.
There are challenging moments, though. But storage for weeks, not months, might be robust enough.

Good. Next we have to get rid of cars where they are not necessary, because they block the transition to climate-friendly person transport.
