‘SHARP and FLiXenergy have a strong partnership for years. Together with SHARP,
we implement unusual power generation systems that are designed to ensure that
our customers achieve maximum self-sufficiency from the grid. As components, we
use SHARP PV modules, flexible and cascadable NES storage systems and in the
future also small wind turbines.’

Renewable energy in Germany
The share of renewable energies in
electricity consumption rose from 6% in
2000 to 38% in 2018. Thus, the target of
35% planned for 2020 was exceeded
prematurely.
In 2018, 33% of the electricity generated
in Germany came from renewable
sources. The share of renewable
electricity generated from photovoltaics
and geothermal energy was 6.1%.
With an installed capacity of over 45 GW
at the end of 2018, solar systems make
up the second largest share of
renewable electricity generation after
onshore wind energy.
