How Germany Is Setting A Solar Example

With over more than half of the global photovoltaic cells produced last year, Germany has the largest solar industry. The biggest photovoltaic power station on the planet is in Bavaria which contains over 50,000 modules. But solar power in Germany still only makes up 1% of their total energy output.

Solar Energy And The Environment

Solar energy is the radiant light and sun’s heat. This free accessible energy has been harnessed by humans for thousands of years using a selection of ever-evolving technologies. Still today, only an infinitesimal fraction of the available solar energy is used. Solar power provides electrical generation with heat engines or photovoltaic. Solar applications includes space cooling and heating through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, day lighting, hot water, thermal energy for cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
