German solar juggernaut rolls on despite tariff cuts

8. I do if there are alternatives.

I will admit, PV systems are a better deal this year than they were even this time last year, but at higher latitudes, you're behind the curve. You can even see it within Germany itself, when you look at a map of PV installation densities. Roughly eyeballing it, the lower 20% of the nation hosts half of the PV installations. (and if you look at wind generator installations, the opposite is true)

It's like a rocket launch site. You COULD put it anywhere, but at the equator, you get the most bang for your buck, and that counts for a lot.

Despite massive subsidy, it seems obvious that wind is the better choice for Germany, and explains why wind accounts for 8% of their total electrical generation per year, to solar's 3%.

I don't begrudge them some diversity in generating sources, that's a good idea I guess, but damn, it doesn't seem like the best idea, given their resources.
