Depending on the technology used, electricity from renewable energy sources can be produced significantly more cheaply than electricity generated in conventional power plants. This is shown in a study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. According to the study, electricity from gas turbines and coal-fired power plants is the most expensive to produce.
Photovoltaic systems convert solar radiation into electrical energy using solar cells. In a global comparison, Germany, along with China, the USA, and Japan, was recently among the leading countries in the use of photovoltaics for electricity generation.
In Germany, the installed capacity of photovoltaic systems has increased continuously. In 2020, photovoltaic systems with a capacity of approximately 54 gigawatts were installed in Germany. The electricity generated by these systems amounted to roughly 51 terawatt-hours in the same year. The largest solar power generation capacities are located in southern Germany. Bavaria currently has by far the largest capacity of any German state, followed by Baden-Württemberg.
