Germany Leader in Solar Power

Germany is a global leader in solar power, largely due to the country’s generous feed in tariff program that pays a premium rate on all electricity produced by solar farms and home solar power systems. Germany is the world’s top solar panel installer, accounting for almost half of the market in 2007.This is more to do with electricity generation via photo voltaic cells rather than solar heating and solar powered water pumps but it’s interesting to read that Germanyt is leading the way with the implementation of this technology
