Solar Energy
That''s why more and more Hamburg residents and businesses are coming to rely on the advantages of solar energy. Not only is this energy clean, renewable and readily available, but
Solar power is a crucial driving factor in both Hamburg and all of Germany to reach these renewable energy transition goals. Along with wind power and the generation of energy from biomass, solar power is one of the most important sources of clean, environmentally friendly, renewable energy.
In 2004, Germany was the first country, together with Japan, to reach 1 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity. Since 2004 solar power in Germany has been growing considerably due to the country's feed-in tariffs for renewable energy, which were introduced by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act, and declining PV costs.
Nationwide PV capacity in megawatts on a linear scale since 1990. It is interesting to note that whilst large power plants receive a lot of attention in solar power articles, installations under 0.5 MW in size actually represented nearly two-thirds of the installed capacity in Germany in 2017.
There is, however, a 1.5 MW experimental CSP-plant used for on-site engineering purposes rather than for commercial electricity generation, the Jülich Solar Tower owned by the German Aerospace Center. Germany's largest solar farms are located in Meuro, Neuhardenberg, and Templin with capacities over 100 MW.
