Absolutely, Sun is also responsible for oil and natural gas if you stretch the horizon longer. Perhaps the only source of energy we have not capture from the Sun is nuclear, which may have been a result of supernova explosions. This pedantry aside, Germany needs better energy policy that is grounded in fundamental resource economics, not driven by ideology/potitical will, but with a stern look at their national energy security (or lack there of) and secure it by the means that's necessary. Cost of energy has multitude of secondary effects on GDP and food security; the importance of which cannot be understated.
