- nknight 14y agoYeah, but there just isn't much installed PV capacity in the world yet, Germany is one of the few countries to have anything like a concerted effort toward it. It's also very much a first-world country in terms of power usage. Importantly, the same investment Germany has made would get you a lot more power in sunnier places. Just within Europe, Spain, Italy, and southern France could be significantly more efficient, nevermind places like Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and the Americas.
