Main Difference
The main difference between the German solar energy and Australian solar energy is that German is a market leader in manufacturing the solar energy whereas the Australia using a maximum number of solar panel in the world after the japan.
Australian Solar Energy
The Perth the western Australian capital is the country’s sunniest big city. The people enjoy an average of eight hours of the sunshine per day, rising to 11 hours in the height of summer. Sydney is not far behind, with the Sun on a show for more than seven hours each day. And even cloudier and cooler Melbourne gets five and a half hours.With such enviable weather conditions, one knock-on effect is that Australia leads the way when it comes to the number of homes that have solar panels. More than a million residential properties in the country now have the systems installed. Other nations, such as Germany, may produce more energy from commercial solar power stations, but Prof Green says Australia and Japan have got the most homes with panels. The big rise in the number of Australian families fitting solar panels in the past five years or so has been led by a number of factors, such as higher energy bills, the falling cost of the panels, increased environmental awareness, and generous payments for any surplus electricity that such a kitted out property pumps into the grid system.
German Solar Energy
German set a world record for solar power production. The country has been the world top PV installers for several years still leads in terms of the overall installed capacity that amounted to 38653 MW by the end of April 2015,ahead of china, japan, Italy, and the united states. According to the solar power industry, a feed-in-tariff (FiT) scheme is the most effective means of developing solar power. Germany has taken a multilateral approach towards its growth its PV growth. A feed-in-tariff (FiT) allows investors a guaranteed return on investment. German government offers a feed-in-tariff (FiT) scheme, long term and short term financing opportunities, availability of skilled PV companies, and a good public awareness of the PV technology, largely contributed to this success”.
Key Differences
- Germany is the large producer of a solar energy panel, whereas Australian is the big user in using the solar energy panel.
- Germany’s solar panels would provide 25% of Australia’s electricity whereas Australia is the good market for the selling of solar panels.
- In many ways, the German solar industry stands as a shining example to the Australian industry.
- German government offers the feed-in-tariff (fit) scheme, while the Australian doesn’t.
- Germans have set a world record for the solar power production.
