Solar isn't available? All my friends here in the UK with panels would beg to differ. Sure less than the summer, but a rooftop aray and still put out a decent amount of power much of winter. Maybe not in the high North, but esp since you qualified that with 'central Europe' I'd wager there is plenty of solar generation going on then across Europe.

No one will put 340 sq meters of solars panels on small house's roof or on it's lawns. And no one is Suwalki would like to freeze in December. There are other technologies like heat pumps etc. But solar is not of use in winter. Not for heating. https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2018/24/e3sconf_solina2018_00049.pdf https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2018/24...
