Everything about Solar Power In Germany totally explained

Strong demand for solar cells from German farmers and homeowners resulted in another record year for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the country, according to data from the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (the German Solar Association): » "Germany installed an astounding 100,000 solar systems in 2006, representing 750 MW of solar-electric generation [sic,potential]. This follows on the back-to-back record-setting years of 2005 (750 MW) and 2004 (600 MW)."

Germans invested nearly US$5 billion in new solar photovoltaic systems and in doing so employed nearly 35,000 in the solar industry. Germany now operates a solar-electric generating capacity of about 2,500 MW. Analysts estimate that solar cells in Germany now generate about 2 TWh of electricity per year, or about one-half of one percent of German electricity consumption. |- ! DC Peak Power ! Location !
