Solar power in Germany
OverviewCompaniesHistoryGovernmental policiesStatisticsSee alsoExternal links
The history of Germany''s installed photovoltaic capacity, its average power output, produced electricity, and its share in the overall consumed electricity, showed a steady, exponential growth for more than two decades up to about 2012. Solar PV capacity doubled on average every 18 months in this period; an annual growth rate of more than 50 per cent. Since about 2012 growth has slowed down significantly.
