In 2010, the €2.6 billion European solar heating sectors consisted of small and medium-sized businesses, generated 17.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy, employed 33,500 workers, and created one new job for every 80 kW of added capacity. [1] Solar energy, the fastest-growing energy source in the EU, saw an 82% cost reduction between 2010 and 2020.
Germany set a world record for solar power production with 25.8 GW produced at midday on 20 and 21 April 2015. [27] According to the solar power industry, a feed-in tariff is the most effective means of developing solar power. [28] It is the same as a power purchase agreement, but is at a much higher rate. As the industry matures, it is reduced ...

Solar power provided 1.4 TWh, or the equivalent of 4.3% [14] or 3.6% of Danish electricity consumption in 2021. [15] In 2018, the number was 2.8 percent. [16] Denmark has lower solar insolation than many countries closer to Equator, but lower temperatures increase production. Modern solar cells decrease production by 0.25% per year. [15] 2020
