Solar energy breaks records in Europe
The spread of COVID-19 is helping many European countries set new records in solar energy production.
All UK solar panels peaked at 9.68 gigawatts on Monday, according to information from the University of Sheffield and the National Energy System. According to the Solar Trade Association (STA), this figure was enough to fill a third of the energy costs of British users at one time. The previous record of 9.55 gigawatts was recorded in May last year.
According to Bloomberg, on the same day, Germany set a solar power record with an indicator of 32.23 gigawatts. Spain, meanwhile, peaked at 6.34 gigawatts on March 29, according to national network operator Red Eléctrica de España. This is 7.4 per cent higher than the previous record set in February. In general, in recent years, cases of negative electricity prices have become increasingly common, which forces states to pay people for consumption.
