Where in central Europe is it 10%? And you get extra in summer, the actual overprovisioning is when you compare to the equinoxes.

In southernmost Sweden, just above Germany, solar production is only 5% in December compared to June. In northernmost Sweden the sun doesn't even rise above the horizon for most of December.
This is a pretty late response, but even as "not too north" as Hamburg it gets close to 10%.
Hamburg is at 53.6 degrees North; Berlin is 52.5. Both are just farther north than Calgary, as a pretty reasonable comparison for the US.
To contrast, New York City is at 40.7 degrees, and Boston is at 42.3 degrees North.
