Germany is in crisis

Germany has been very successful in encouraging households to install solar panels and if the excess electricity is not used up, they will be sold to the national electricity network. With generous government subsidies, photovoltaic energy increases faster than expected.

Also because of this rapid growth, engineer Stephen Kohler, the German government adviser, foretold that being careful because this ' green bomb ' could cripple an ' old ' transmission system in the country. Virtue. According to Kohler, it's time to cut down on solar energy exploitation. According to the Daily Mail, the German government has cut funding by 16% for photovoltaic sources from rooftops this year.

It is worth noting that at noon, when the source of sunlight is the most abundant, the amount of electricity will also be produced at the highest level and then need to be transmitted to power plants. But the huge increase will " distort " the electricity network, even stopping the operation of thermal power plants.

Experts estimate that this year the installation of solar energy roofing sheets will produce 8-10 GW, equivalent to 10 thermal power plants using large coal, compared to only 4 GW in 2009. If this trend continues, by 2013 photovoltaic capacity will reach 50 GW.

According to Stephen Kohler it will be disastrous. He called on the German Government to limit the installation to 1 GW per year to achieve management standards by 2020 of 30 GW. Besides, it is necessary to be flexible so that the area can increase the production of solar energy and which areas need to be limited.
