> you deploy 90% of the required solar panels, you get 90% of the energy
No. You get 0% to 90% of energy.
E.g., right now in Germany solar is at 22% of its capacity. Wind is at 11%

But, a solar plant with a nameplate capacity of 1GW is roughly 15-17x cheaper than a 1GW nuclear plant and starts chipping away at gas and coal usage almost straight away, not in 15-20 years.
Average means nothing when the output is zero (at night).

And produces zero electricity at night.
