A solar spill is called a sunny day.
Germany is one of the world’s leaders in the use of solar photovoltaics (PV) panels. In 2014, Germany produced approximately 6.2 to 6.9 percent of their electricity, and by 2015, it produced 7.5% of Germany’s net electricity consumption. Germany’s PV capacity has doubled on a average of every 18 months, with a 50% annual growth rate. By 2016, China had surpassed Germany, but Germany surpassed Japan, Italy and the United States. They have found a way to make it work; we need to explore what works for them, and what doesn’t.
