The number is extremely significant for this European country because it meets ½ of the country's electricity demand while reducing its dependence on nuclear energy significantly.

'No country has produced more solar power than Germany,' said Norbert Allnoch, Director of the Renewable Energy Industry Institute.

This is considered an outstanding achievement of the German renewable energy industry, last year it produced only 14GW of solar power, in an effort to gradually replace nuclear energy with renewable energy from the sun and wind. , and bioenergy.

After the worst nuclear disaster in history caused by the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Germany has closed 8 nuclear reactors and strives to completely shut down power plants. Nuclear remains until 2022 to focus on developing safer and more sustainable energy.

The German government also pledged to reduce costs for households when using solar power. According to a report by the German Environment Ministry, people pay an additional 4 billion euros a year to use 'clean' electricity .
