Solar capacity factor is typically between 10-25%, so "tens of GWs" doesn't go nearly as far.

In winter cloudy conditions solar PV produces 10-15% power. Assuming some hydro storage, that's 4x overbuild. Not cost effective. Europe all gets winter at the same time. If you've got a cold snap for three weeks with low wind, th

If we're using renewables, we need seasonal shifting, so cycle life doesn't matter at one cycle per year. You could build nuclear to supply your winter power, but then you're overbuilt for summer and don't need any renew
