The title of the article is totally misleading. Germany may produce 50 % of electricity when it's sunny day - not total energy consumption and not all the time. At night photovoltaic power station produces nothing. At winter they produce roughly 5 times less than in summer. Considering annual production by PV and total consumption of electricity, PV produces only about 5 % of the consumption. And the costs are huge. €23bn annually. Try to compare it with costs for Hubble Space Telescope, LHC or ITER. Or look at it another way, imagine, that instead of stupid decision to close nuclear power station which lead to increase in electricity produced from fossil fuels Germany would use the money to close coal power stations and build nuclear power station, imagine the amount of carbon dioxide not produced in coal power stations.
