Good timing: annual solar PV installations in the EU leaping ahead: 41 GW this year, up 47% from last year's record 28 GW!
And a way broader base than the spike driven by German and Italian support schemes in 2011.

@Sustainable2050 wow! Btw, do you know what caused the slump in the mid-2010s?

@leonoverweel A crash after ridiculously generous support schemes in some countries were suddenly ended.

@Sustainable2050 ah I see, thanks. Do you think that risk is also there now?

@leonoverweel No. Overall solar PV costs are very attractive now. But e.g. the Netherlands has over-subsidization, at least in its net metering scheme.

@Sustainable2050 haha yeah in any sane world our dark cloudy country wouldn’t have the highest installed capacity of Europe indeed. But it’s not the worst thing to oversubsidize I guess!
