> Before China came to dominate the solar panel industry, Germany led the way. It was the world’s largest producer of solar panels, with several start-ups clustered in the former East Germany, until about a decade ago when China ramped up production and undercut just about everyone on price
It was also around a decade ago that the conservative government in Germany basically killed the solar industry.
- Gravityloss 3y agoI have seen comments that it was a German industry to export solar panel factories. Those technologies of course move forward and I assume nowadays China does its own development.
