Berlin, Germany (06/09/2011). Thomas Griegoleit
, renewable energies expert at Germany Trade & Invest, has announced that Germany's solar photovoltaic (PV) industry now employs more workers than steel production in the USA. With over 100,000 "green jobs" in PV alone, around 75 percent of European solar cells and modules as well as countless components are made in Germany, according to the German agency.
Record-breaking domestic demand is a key industry driver, with 7.4 GWp of PV capacity installed in 2010. "Germany continues to confirm its leadership role in renewable energies as the solar photovoltaic market will soon enter the grid parity era," said Mr. Griegoleit.
"Political support for solar power is unwavering and industry players are already preparing for innovative new business models. Now is an excellent time to invest in Germany."
