Germany sets record for peak energy use – 50 percent comes from solar (Update)

The Fraunhofer ISE research institute has announced that Germany set a record high for solar use on June 9—on that day the country's solar power output rose to 23.1 GW—50.6 percent of all electricity demand. The record occurred over a holiday, which meant less demand, but it still marks a major step forward for the world's solar power leader.http://phys.org/news/2014-06-germany-day-energy-percent-solar.html#nwlt
