Germany already has 60% wind and solar installed power.

Installed - is the key word here. It means that under ideal ideal circumstances, 60% of the electricity in Germany would come from wind and solar. The reality is however, that for wind these circumstances happen around 13% of the time on average, for wind - ~30%.

So on a day such as 13 September, you could have 2x or 5x more wind *installed* but you won't get more electricity. Which is why Germany ran on coal that day.
