Tagesspiegel reports on an unexpected turn in the German solar industry. After years of boom, homeowners’ interest in photovoltaic systems had recently dropped significantly. Now a combination of geopolitical events and political impulses is creating a special boom.

The report cites the Iran war and the work of Minister Reiche as driving forces. The exact reasons for the war-related boost – such as rising electricity prices or increased efforts for energy independence – are not detailed in the article. What is clear, however, is that the industry is benefiting from the current development.
