Germany Harnesses Sun Power<br />

The world’s largest photovoltaic systems (2 MW <strong>and</strong> more) are presented in the table below. In the table, there are different<br />

systems: st<strong>and</strong>alone, hybrid, distributed, <strong>and</strong> building integrated. But only systems that form a photovoltaic power plant<br />

as a whole are considered. It is interesting to note that of the 28 solar systems listed here, 20 are in Germany, a country not<br />

located in the sun belt of the world! Therefore, it can be said that Germany serves as a model for the world when it comes<br />

to photovoltaic systems.<br />
