Photovoltaic Energy
Solar panels make up a vital part of renewable energy of Germany. In 2023, they generated 61.1 TWh of electricity. While substantial, further expansion remains necessary.
This technology is cost effective and is being used in solar panels as a means to convert sunlight into electricity directly. Such a phenomenon of converting the energy of light in electricity is referred to as the photovoltaic effect. Rooftop of buildings and large open areas, known as solar parks, are the places where solar panels are installed.
In this context, the role that solar panels will have in renewable energy of Germany will likely grow along with further advances.
Sources of Renewable Energy in Germany
Sources of Renewable Energy in Germany: Germany is seeking to implement something they call the “Energiewende”. Thus, Germany aims to get rid of using combustible fuels such as coal and oil, as well as nuclear power. On the contrary, Germany plans to use more renewable energy sources that are harmless to the environment and they don’t pollute like they used to.
In this article, the sources of renewable energy in Germany will be reviewed. Through the use of renewable energy, Germany envisions its economic state to be one in which it is sustainable.
