In Germany, solar panels compared to nuclear power plants

Renewable energy is slowly but surely replacing conventional. One of the pioneers in this area is Germany, where there are already half a million solar installations.

In July, the German solar industry set a record as the solar panels produced the same amount of electricity as the nuclear power plant. Both the industry for the month generated by 5.18 terawatt-hours. Not the last role in this played the fact that in 2015 year was very Sunny and windy summer. However, to achieve such performance would be impossible without the purposeful policy aimed at the introduction of alternative sources of energy.



Here also is the place several factors. Recently, the Germans finally brought one of its nuclear power plants, and the work of the other three reactors have been suspended for inspection. But even with that said, to deny the increased role of alternative energy can not. So, for the whole of 2014, renewable energy provided 26.2% of total electricity production in Germany. Traditional industry leader brown coal was left behind.

All of the above fits well into the policy of Germany on the implementation of the so-called "energy transition" (Energiewende). Over time, hydrocarbon and nuclear energy needs to go into oblivion and become the main renewable sources. Already by 2035, their share is expected to increase to 55-60%.

Note that investing in alternative energy is growing worldwide every year. If in 2009 they amounted to $ 160 billion, in 2010-m has grown to 211 billion In 2014, investment volume increased to 270 billion, and most of them made in the USA and Europe. published
