“If Germany’s neighbors were also heavily built up on solar and wind, wouldn’t they tend to have surpluses at the same time as Germany, and shortfalls at about the same time?”

No, because European weather systems tend to sweep across the continent from west to east. The weather in northwestern France is much more likely that not to be different than the weather in northeastern Germany on the same day just because of the time it takes for the weather to travel from place to place.

If Germany’s neighbors were also heavily built up on solar and wind, wouldn’t they tend to have surpluses at the same time as Germany, and shortfalls at about the same time? I don’t really know, but aren’t those surplus exports basically enabled by the other grids not also having their own wind or solar surpluses?

What do you do with surpluses when everyone near enough to transmit your power to, also has a surplus?
