SolarWorld is only the latest bankrupt PV manufacturer in Germany. Many now wonder: What is the matter with photovoltaics in Germany and what is next? When trying to answer these questions, we have to look at three sectors: Politics, economy and technology. In the technical and economic sector, photovoltaics (PV) is on a triumphal march worldwide. Along with wind energy, it will be a keystone of the climate-friendly energy supply of the future. However, the capital-oriented market economy does not regard the fact that a local and sustainable production of solar modules is important.
