Germany was a first mover in solar as well as in wind energy. It does not make sense to compare the installed capacity of China to Germany. It is 17 times bigger than Germany. China was the second mover profitting from proven technology and prices that were lowered for all players by subsidising not German companies, but the installation of solar power (no matter where it was from).
