Despite the economic crisis, increasing non-European competition and the lowering of state subsidies for solar energy, the solar module market will continue to grow. The German photovoltaics industry alone expects turnover to increase by more than 20 percent this year. In addition, it expects increased levels of investment and another increase in the number of people employed in the industry (see information graphic). All the signs are pointing to growth in our sunblessed neighbouring European countries too. Italy is considered the market with the greatest potential, with alternative energy forms being supported by legislation and state subsidies. France is currently way behind Germany in the use of solar energy. But there too state subsidies are being used to promote the industry. sunny energy. There are a number of reasons for the positive forecasts. First of all, there is a growing widespread consensus that solar energy is vital to the future of the world as an alternative to fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In just a few decades time, the earth‘s oil and uranium reserves will have been exhausted. The sun however will remain with us as an energy source until time indefinite, and won‘t cause any oil catastrophes or generate nuclear waste. Not least because of this, solar energy has an unbeatable image as clean and regenerative energy. This coupled with financial incentives by the state also means an increased willingness among private individuals to use the technology. Last year in Germany alone, home owners spent more than six billion euros on solar modules. This is more than the large German energy producers invested together in the construction and expansion of new and existing power plants. Although lower state subsidies will temporarily slow down the rate of expansion, there is no possibility of it coming to a halt. Solar energy is also becoming increasingly interesting for those with limited financial resources and no property of their own. The solar sector reckons that in just a few years‘ time end-users will be able to obtain solar energy for the price of conventional electricity. This will become possible through technical progress and the accelerated expansion of the photovoltaics market. Solar energy will then no longer lag behind other forms of energy in terms of cost. pictUre leFt: the thermal solar energy system on the roof of the Federal government‘s press and information office in Berlin helps power the building‘s air-conditioning system sunny logisTics. These developments in the solar energy sector open up a large number of opportunities for the logistics industry. Solar logistics is still a very new area, and those who react quickly and flexibly to the needs of this dynamic sector will profit from its continuous growth in the future. Since 2008, the Geis Group has been handling solar supply chains and has developed solutions that are tailored to the needs of the industry. Alongside procurement logistics and appropriate storage solutions, Geis also guarantees on-time delivery of the sensitive solar products to end customers. „The particular challenge when it comes to solar logistics is to be able to cope with the extreme fluctuations in shipping quantities“, says Geis Managing Director Dr. Johannes Söllner. „We guarantee this flexibility through specially-developed logistical processes that we adhere to strictly with the help of various IT solutions.“ — Solar energy companies create jobs in Germany Number of jobs Solar heating and solar electricity top StorY | 5 the logistics industry is also benefitting from the continuous growth of the solar industry.
