How about the ENSPRESO online database but just for Europe:
Ruiz Castello, Pablo, Wouter Nijs, Dalius Tarvydas, Alessandra Sgobbi, Andreas Zucker, Roberto Pilli, Andrea Camia, Christian Thiel, Carsten Hoyer‑Klick, Francesco Dalla Longa, Tom Kober, Jake Badger, Patrick Volker, Berien Elbersen, Andre Brosowski, Daniela Thrän, and Klas Jonsson (13 June 2019). ENSPRESO — an open data, EU-28 wide, transparent and coherent database of wind, solar and biomass energy potentials — Online database. Brussels, Belgium: European Commission.
abstract: This collection contains datasets from ENSPRESO, an EU-28 wide, open dataset for energy models on renewable energy potentials, at national (NUTS0) and regional levels (NUTS2) for the 2010-2050 period. Within ENSPRESO, ENergy Systems Potential Renewable Energy SOurces, technical potentials are provided for wind, solar and biomass, based on coherent GIS-based land-restriction scenarios. For wind, resource evaluation also considers setback distances as well as high resolution geo-spatial wind speed data. For solar, potentials are derived from irradiation data and available area for solar applications. For biomass, agriculture, forestry and waste sectors are considered. The temporal resolution for wind and solar is both annual and year fractions (timeslices as used by JRC-EU-TIMES). ENSPRESO complements the EMHIRES collection, that provides meteorologically derived power time series at high temporal and spatial resolution. ENSPRESO can impact the results of any energy model by improving its analyses of the competition and complementarity of energy technologies.
Some of this material is future looking to 2050, which, in the absence of time travel, falls outside the scope of the original request.
with best wishes, Robbie

Dear Grant,
A little hint from Germany: we once bought a very big solar data-set from SMA. As they have a monitoring system that they sell with their inverters, they have detailed data from all over the country which they sell (or at least sold some years ago) in an anonymised version.
Best regards
Berit
