Germany got 60% of its electricity from renewables in 2024, and two thirds are planning to get home solar, meaning it is on track for its goal to be a 100% renewables nation within 10 years. (www.euronews.com)

German here, yes we unexpectedly thrive with renewables, especially PV. With wind we lack a bit, and with storage.

I guess the thrive came through soaring energy costs due to the Ukrainian war. For farmers it's currently more profitable to rent their land to solar PV plants than sowing crops.
