“The recent solar boom means the alternative form of
energy now reaches 8 million homes in Germany, a 45 percent increase compared
to 2011, the German Solar Industry Association (BSW) said on Tuesday.
‘Germany is now reaping the fruits of its efforts in
solar technology,’ said the BSW’s chief executive, Carsten Körnig. ‘Its share of the power supply has quadrupled
in just three years. At the same time, the price of a new solar power system
installation has halved.’”
