Solar energy power generation industry in Germany has reached a cumulative 53 billion watts

To promote the use of solar cells, has been regarded as the world is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to prevent global warming, a powerful tool. Economic power in Europe - especially Germany. German legislation to require power companies to be many times greater than the price of electricity usually buy the electricity generated by solar cells. Therefore the user into a more cost-effective solar cells. In other words, the adoption of policies to promote the demand. As of the end of 2007 the German solar cell using the cumulative amount of 3.86GW, the highest in the world.

Because of the Government's efforts to promote the rapid development of the German solar power industry, but also the birth of a large number of the company's growth, Q-CELLS, Goldbeck, odersun, Conergy is the leader in the field of photovoltaic solar power. Although in 2008 by the international financial crisis, Germany's fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) fell 2.1% in chain. Set unification of the two Germanys in 1990 the largest decline since, automobiles, steel and other industries suffered huge losses, the solar photovoltaic industry in Germany is still developing very well.

From a global perspective, the German photovoltaic industry is still the ideal place for investment and remains the world leader in the field of photovoltaic solar power status, and in all areas of the industry are an increase of investment. According to the consultant in the energy sector for up-to-date data analysis research department show that the German photovoltaic power generating capacity has reached a cumulative 53 billion watts peak photovoltaic power station in the newly completed photovoltaic peak power generation capacity of 1,500 megawatts.

It is worth mentioning that most are located in Freiburg, Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems has recently reached a new record of energy retained. Released by these solar cells the efficiency of energy retention was 41.1% for the whole industry has opened up new possibilities. And currently on the market compared to the standard solar cell, the efficiency will allow more sunlight can be converted into energy.
