The country is saying “Guten Tag” to new forms of energy.
On June 9th, 2014, solar power provided over half of the country's energy for one hour - The first time in history this has happened.

Germany has invested tons of money into growing this form of energy, and has even helped lower the cost of solar panels by 80% over the last five years.
