What is Solar Energy in Germany?

Germany, despite being a sun-drenched country has been considered as one of the highest solar power outputs around the world and still possesses the most advanced and latest research about solar energy and has many new industry actors. Moreover, they’re expecting for the second wave of solar power expansion, which will soon bring success and progress for the solar technology’s full systemic integration.

For several years, Germany has been considered as the world’s top PV installer among other countries. At the end of the year 2016, Germany managed to build a total installed solar power capacity of 41.3 gigawatts (GW) which was behind China’s solar capacity.

Most solar power in Germany exclusively consists of photovoltaics (PV) systems only. Germany has only a little interest in concentrated solar power (CSP) for it does not use photovoltaics and this solar technology requires much higher solar insolation as compared to the PV system. However, there is still an experimental CSP-plant with 1.5 MW capacity which is being used solely for on-site engineering purposes only rather than for commercial electricity/power generation. This concentrated solar power is called the “Jülich Solar Tower” that is owned by the German Aerospace Center.

Moreover, in 2014, Germany managed to install about 1.5 million photovoltaic systems across the country which are ranging from small rooftop solar power systems to medium commercial and large utility-scale solar plants and farms. The largest solar farms of Germany are located in Neuhardenberg, Templin and Meuro with solar capacities of over 100 MW. Moreover, these PV technologies were accounted for an estimated 6.2 to 6.9 percent of Germany’s net electricity generation in the year 2016.

However, new installations of photovoltaic systems have slowed down steadily since the beginning of the year 2011. Also, it was estimated in the year 2017 that over 70 percent of the employment in the solar industry of the country have been lost in recent years. Solar power in Germany has gone through rough times since it has been started in the wake of Germany’s Renewable Energy Act in the year 2000. However, German companies quickly loomed to global leadership in solar power technology before a collapse in the solar industry happen and some of the companies were forced to hold their businesses.

Proponents from the Photovoltaic industry blamed the government for its lack of commitment in the said industry, while others point out that the loss of jobs in the solar sector is due to financial burden that was associated with the fast-paced launching and manufacturing of photovoltaics, which in their perspective was very unsustainable to the transition of renewable energies.

With all of these, still, the official governmental goal of Germany is to continuously improve and increase the contribution of renewable energy to the country’s overall electricity generation and consumption. By 2020, Germany is aiming for a long-term minimum target of 35 percent capacity, 50 percent by 2030 and around 80 percent power capacity by the end of 2050.

Currently, the country is significantly producing more electricity at specific times with high solar irradiation than the country’s needs, slowing down spot-market prices and exporting the country’s electricity surplus to nearby countries. In 2014, the record of exported electricity surplus reached almost 34 TWh. The decline of spot-prices in the market may raise the electricity prices for retail customers, as the expansion of the guaranteed feed-in tariff and spot-price increases as well.

As the combined share of fluctuating wind and solar energy is nearly achieving 17 percent of the national electricity mix, energy issues and problems are also being prevented and others becoming more manageable. This is because of the electrical grid adaptation, new grid-storage capacity construction, reduction of fossil fuels, altering of nuclear power plants and constructing a new generation of combined heat and power plants. Today, nuclear power and brown coal are the cheapest suppliers of electricity in Germany.

Solar Street Light

Solar Street Light

As time goes by, solar power is becoming more popular in different products, in different regions. Before solar power is only introduced via solar panel systems but with the use of modern technology and innovations, many products are now being equipped and powered by solar power. One of the popular solar products today is solar street lights. If you will observe your surroundings, most standard street lights powered by electricity are now being replaced by solar-powered street lights. The main reason why people are gradually switching to solar street lights is their efficiency, conventional performance, and other abundant benefits.

For today’s article, we will share all the basic information about solar street lights.

What is Solar Street Light?

Solar street light is simply an outdoor source of light powered by solar power. It is now becoming the common dependable source for street lighting across the globe due to its unending benefits to consumers. Some of the benefits associated with solar street lights include low dependence and reliance on conventional electricity, conservation of energy, and money-saving. Generally, these street lights are integrated into the pole or mounted on other lighting structures. In regions experiencing abundant sunlight, solar street lights are the best alternative to standard street lights powered by electricity. You can use these street lights to illuminate the streets, patio, backyards, gardens, parking lots, and other public spaces.

Components of Solar Street Light

Modern solar street lights are composed of solar panels, built-in lithium-ion batteries, battery chargers, control systems, automatic controls, motion sensors, and poles. Whereas, a fully advanced and automatic solar street light device comes with LEDs, a built-in and replaceable rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that powers either a fluorescent or LED lamp, passive infrared (PIR) sensors, and other smart features. These solar street lights are usually weather-proof and water-resistant, have a low insect attraction rate, low glare, and long lifespan.

Types of Solar Street Lights

Solar street lights have different types and designs available in the market but below are the most common type that you will see in your neighborhood.

  • Split Solar Street Light 

The split solar street light is flexible enough to adjust the location of sunlight to its maximum heat because it has rotatable solar panels. Typically, these street lights are available in two types of solar street lamp systems: 12V and 24V.

  • All-in-one Solar Street Light

From the word itself “all-in-one” these lights are composed of many components but compact with one body. All-in-one solar street lights are the new generation set of solar street lights.

  • Two-in-one Solar Street Light

It is made with a solar panel bracket design, and cannot carry a solar panel power capacity bigger than 50W. It also has a solar panel installed on the body lamp’s top powered by batteries, LED fixtures, and controllers. 

How Does Solar Street Light Works?

The photovoltaic solar cells will emit the sunlight and convert the gathered solar energy into power energy, which is then stored in the solar battery. At night, the lamp will switch on automatically then consumes the solar power that is stored in the battery. During the first 5 hours of the night, the light will work at average lumens brightness. Subsequently, the light intensity will reduce till dawn or increase again once the PIR sensor detects human movement. During the daytime, the light will automatically turn off and the battery will recharge again. The process will start again from emitting to consuming and repeated every day.

Is it Worth it to Install Solar Street Lights?

In comparison to the standard electric street lights, solar street lights are indeed a worthy product. This light cannot only switch you to renewable and cleaner energy but it can also provide you more benefits.  It may cost you a huge buck of money at first, but it is a lifetime investment that can return your initial investment multiple times for the next coming years. 

Distributors

Solar Products Distributors

Distributors are those companies working as big warehouses that served as the middlemen between the consumer/customer and the manufacturer. Typically, in distribution, a company is handling the sourcing, stocking and logistics but nowadays they are also helping manufacturers in product designing and solving other business conflicts. 

Aside from other industries, distributors also play a vital role in the solar industry. Solar distributors become long-term partners of solar manufacturing companies and even solar contractors. They are not only serving as warehouse facilities but partners that also provide strategic solutions to help solar companies achieve their desired outcomes. Solar distributors assist solar manufacturing companies by storing. handling and shipping their solar products to their buyers. On the other hand, they help solar contractor companies in outsourcing high-quality solar products. 

These solar distributors are the ones who deal with homeowners who want to go solar, businesses that work with the solar industry and solar installers who offer solar system services to both residential and commercial customers. But on top of that, the solar distributor’s main role is to maintain its commitment to outsourcing and handling high-quality products and delivering them to customers at a good value. 

Up to these days, many solar distributors have been operating and helping many solar companies in distributing their products. So, if you are looking for the most trusted and reliable solar distributor, you can easily find one by checking out solar outsourcing companies that provide easy access to reliable information, news, data and a list of solar suppliers and distributors near you.
