Germany has passed through the 40GW mark for solar production for the first time. The new benchmark was reached at 12.30pm local time on May 4.
It shows that solar output was more than six times bigger than any other source at the time, and accounted for nearly two thirds of the total 64.6GW, of which around 1.3GW was being exported to other countries. Brown coal generation was the second biggest at that time, followed by biomass and onshore wind.
