For around 69% of the German population, the energy transition and climate protection are „important“ or „fairly important“. In addition, 64% of respondents are in favor of a rapid expansion of solar energy. The majority of Green, SPD, FDP, and CDU/CSU voters are in favor of a faster expansion of solar energy. This is the result of a representative survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of the German Solar Industry Association. The association has drawn up a 10-point plan on how solar energy can be expanded even faster. Germany is expected to exceed its solar expansion target for 2024 with a planned expansion of around 15 gigawatts. kul
