They ARE the topics which needs to be understood if you want to understand what that number means.

Are you going to provide some content to the discussion, or do you just keep talking? Name me a single reason, why you think that all sources which list the German electricity production - to make it clear, that means the amount of electricity put into the grid - at 40% reneweable sources is wrong. Don't claim you said it somewhere, give it here, as a single clear statement.

  I gave you multiple reasons. Capacity factor (which means that you have to reduce the number to that factor which is betewen 20-40% of what is stated as capacity is different than actual usage) It's only electricity produced in germany (which means you have to include electricity coming from other places than Germany) That electricity is a subset of energy. It's pretty simple. Your number ignores those facts to get to that numbers. If you factor those things in the number will dramatically smaller.

    Capacity factor (which means that you have to reduce the number to that factor which is betewen 20-40% of what is stated as capacity is different than actual usage) I know what capacity factor is. But I was not talking about the installed peak power of reneweables, I was talking about the actual amount of energy which has been produced. It is irrelevant what the capacity is, it is only counting the energy being produced, which is measured by the meter. That is the number I have been talking about. It's only electricity produced in germany (which means you have to include electricity coming from other places than Germany) What are you talking about? Germany isn't importing electricity on a large scale. That electricity is a subset of energy. That is true, that doesn't make my statement, that reneweables are over 40% of all electricity production in Germany wrong. But you claimed my statement were wrong. It's pretty simple. Your number ignores those facts to get to that numbers. If you factor those things in the number will dramatically smaller. No I was just talking about the metered electricity production.
