Are these dates correct? Germany had only 2MW in 1990 and 91 [1]. It looks like solar interest didn't really start until the 80's [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia

- logtempo 2y agoGermany did investing, but China ate the market. It's basically what happened in the 21th. It's also interesting that we're talking about 1980/90. 25 years ago is 1999.
- AtlasBarfed 2y ago25 years ago is discussed in the context of shifting the current state of the art solar to 25 years ago. So starting maybe in the 1970s would produce the current performance and economies of scale, but much earlier, not "starting" in 1999.
