There's a page with German electricity production by source [1]. According to that, wind is still more reliable than solar but even offshore wind seems to be far from 24x7. It looks like yesterday there was virtually no wind on the North Sea. It still makes most sense to combine both and then use batteries to match production with demand. Relying on one source won't work.
