Maybe in nameplate numbers but not actual production in places like Sweden. Especially during the time the consumption is the highest (winter). The whole country is further north then the northern most point in US (excluding Alaska).
But in the places most of humanity lives (including pretty much all of US) solar works quite well just not once you go far enough north/south.
If you want to go renewables in a place like Sweden you go wind+hydro. Hydro is mostly built out already so that leaves wind.
what are you going to construct the new baseload from? nothing comes close to the cheapness of pv and wind. grid-scale energy storage, in the form of batteries, is already too cheap for coal and nuclear to compete with it on that basis, and it's just going to get cheaper as we climb down the learning curve
