Germany Sets New Solar Power Record
May 28th, 2012
Via: Reuters:
German solar power plants produced a world record 22 gigawatts of electricity per hour – equal to 20 nuclear power stations at full capacity – through the midday hours on Friday and Saturday, the head of a renewable energy think tank said.
The German government decided to abandon nuclear power after the Fukushima nuclear disaster last year, closing eight plants immediately and shutting down the remaining nine by 2022.
They will be replaced by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and bio-mass.
Norbert Allnoch, director of the Institute of the Renewable Energy Industry (IWR) in Muenster, said the 22 gigawatts of solar power per hour fed into the national grid on Saturday met nearly 50 percent of the nation’s midday electricity needs.
“Never before anywhere has a country produced as much photovoltaic electricity,” Allnoch told Reuters. “Germany came close to the 20 gigawatt (GW) mark a few times in recent weeks. But this was the first time we made it over.”
The record-breaking amount of solar power shows one of the world’s leading industrial nations was able to meet a third of its electricity needs on a work day, Friday, and nearly half on Saturday when factories and offices were closed.

What do they usually produce? What do they produce at night?
Power isn't only needed on clear sunny days. If the surplus energy can't be stored, what real advantage does this solar electricity provide?

On the contrary: this massive usage of solar electricity and wind farms is so unreliable for a highly industrialised, productive and relatively small country like Germany with a need of constant power supply, that this new energy "turnaround" in reality means the country will be de-industrialised and hence economically destroyed.
The formerly reliable German power supply already has been destroyed by the international investors aka money-masters (of course via sell-out by the "German" governments) who suck any of their "invested" prey until its's dead. So the poor Germans in "Federal Reserve of Germany" had to buy power from their neighbours like Austria etc, in order to avoid blackouts during the recent cold winter season (February with -25° Celsius) ...
But soon even this additionally purchased power won't help in future...
I think that's the plan.
