Peloponnese – Your November holiday in Greece

• Temperatures in November: 16°C – 20°C
• Average daytime temperature: 20.5°C
• Average night temperature: 10°C
• Water temperature: 20°C
• Sunshine hours: 5 hours
• Rainy days: 9

Camping weather: You can expect pleasantly mild temperatures on the Greek peninsula in November and even in December, even though it rains more often than in the summer and autumn months. It’s no wonder long-term campers choose Greece as their winter home.

What you can experience: With sunny weather and water temperatures around 20°C, you can still enjoy the Mediterranean Sea in November. Beautiful beaches lure you to the Peloponnese. Visit Voidokilia beach, Foneas beach, Simos beach, or Valtaki beach and enjoy almost deserted bays in November. Visiting ancient cultural sites like Epidauros or Byzantine, cities like Monemvasia, and romantic port cities like Nafplio is a must and especially pleasant during the mild winter months. The Greek peninsula is also ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking for adventure: Whether wreck diving, climbing, hiking, or river rafting – everything is possible in Peloponnese!

What you should watch out for: Many tourism businesses such as restaurants are closed during the winter months. That’s because some regions live exclusively off tourism. But with the campervan, you are fortunately self-sufficient and can prepare your own food. It is best to find out in advance which campsites are still open.

Too little sun in Germany to produce green electricity? The photovoltaic boom and climate change will help to quickly replace gas from Russia in the German power industry. nine0005

Germany is not one of the sunniest countries in Europe. This is a fact, and one could conclude from it that the German solar energy industry is unlikely to be able to develop successfully – and even more so, it is unlikely to be able to help the FRG in solving the currently key task of overcoming dependence on Russian gas. But such a conclusion, if you look at the statistics, seems to be erroneous.

In summer, solar power plants overtake gas-fired thermal power plants

Energy statistics show that the solar panels installed in the country are generating more and more electricity, so they clearly have enough sun (especially since they work even in cloudy weather). And meteorological statistics show that the number of sunny hours in Germany has been increasing in recent years, as the climate is changing. In addition, political support for the industry is growing. Thus, in the largest region of Germany in terms of population, the installation of solar panels on the roofs of new industrial buildings and residential buildings will soon become mandatory. nine0005

Here’s the latest data: In the first quarter of 2022, Germany’s solar power industry generated approximately 8.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) announced on June 21. This is 6.3% of all electricity produced in the country. It would seem not so much. Note, however, that we are talking about especially unfavorable winter and early spring months for the industry, when, in turn, another renewable energy source (RES) – wind – usually plays a particularly important role. nine0005 Germany’s largest solar power plant was built by EnBW near Berlin near wind farm Photo: EnBW/Paul Langrock

Thanks to the combination of various renewable energy sources, the share of “green” electricity in the first quarter of this year again exceeded 50% in the German power industry, reported at the end March Federal Association of Energy and Water Supply Companies (BDEW).

If we look at the results of the entire 2021, then, according to the estimates of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE), photovoltaics accounted for 9.9% of electricity produced. Compared to other RES, the share of solar energy last year in Germany was significantly higher than that of hydropower (4.0%), and slightly higher than that of biomass power plants (8.8%). For comparison: the share of wind farms on land and at sea was 23.1%.

The role of photovoltaics in the power industry in Germany is rapidly growing

The share of gas-fired power plants supplying electricity to the national grid (Fraunhofer ISE does not include in its statistics gas-fired thermal power plants of industrial enterprises serving only their own production) was 10.4% last year. So gas and solar are almost equal in their role in the German power industry. What’s more, the institute’s report highlights that last year, from April to October, monthly electricity generation from solar power plants exceeded that of gas-fired power plants. nine0005

But back to the latest Destatis data for the first quarter of 2022. It is not so much the absolute figures that attract attention here, but the dynamics. If this year the share of solar energy reached 6.3%, then a year ago it was at the level of 4.7%, and in the same period of 2018 it was only 3.5%.

Power generation is showing similar dynamics. The 8.8 billion kWh received in the first three months of this year is 34.7% higher than the same period last year. And compared to the first quarter of 2018, the growth was 64.3%. nine0005

With such a rapid development, solar energy may very well be able to really help the German power industry this year to reduce the use of (Russian) gas as much as possible, which is envisaged by the emergency plans of the German government. Moreover, as a result of global climate change, Germany is becoming more sunny.

More and more sunny days per year in Germany over 100 hours of sunshine more than in the previous five-year period. nine0005 Solar panels in Freiburg in Brausgau, Germany’s sunniest region in the far southwest of the country

Compared to 1961-1990, DWD further notes, the sun shone this spring 45% longer, and compared to the period 1991-2020, there were 29% more hours of sunshine. So the trend is more than obvious.

Germany’s solar energy capacity is equal to a good dozen nuclear power plants

It cannot but please those German enterprises, farms and households that have installed more than 2.2 million solar panels with a total capacity in open areas and on the roofs of outbuildings, apartment buildings and individual houses 58,400 megawatts. nine0005 The barn roof is the best option for solar panels, according to many German farmers. Photo: picture-alliance/Horst Ossinger in the same month last year by 9.7%, and compared to January 2018, when these statistics began to be kept for the first time, by 38.3%.

What is important to know to understand the situation: 58,400 megawatts is 58.4 gigawatts, and 1-3 gigawatts is the standard output of most nuclear power plants in the world. nine0005

In North Rhine-Westphalia, the installation of panels will become mandatory

It can be firmly assumed that both the number of panels and their capacity will increase markedly in Germany in the coming years. The political efforts of both the federal government and regional authorities will be directed to this. Thus, on June 23, in North Rhine-Westphalia, the largest federal state in terms of population, the conservative CDU and the Greens, who won the recent elections and are now forming a joint government, presented a coalition agreement – a program of action for the next five years. nine0005 Pensioners in Dinkelsbühl, Bavaria produce solar energy for their own use on their balcony Photo: Thomas Seltmann

One of its key points is the accelerated development of renewable energy in this industrialized region, which includes the Ruhr area. The program provides, in particular, the adoption of a regional law on the mandatory installation of solar panels on the roofs of all new industrial and commercial buildings from 2024, on the roofs of new residential buildings from 2025, and on any buildings after roof repairs from 2026 . nine0005

However, solar panels are already an integral part of many new buildings throughout Germany, reflecting the growing demand for green energy from a broad section of German society. And in recent weeks, according to the economic newspaper Handelsblatt, there has been “a downright explosive demand for green energy solutions.” As reasons, the publication names the war in Ukraine, the debate about the possible termination of Russian supplies of raw materials and exorbitant prices for oil and gas. nine0005

Additional income for homeowners and growth in industry turnover

Destatis pointed out another important motive for owners of detached houses. In 2020, solar panels provided 1.4 million German households with an average of 174 euros a month in additional income from the sale of generated electricity to utilities. True, there used to be more, but as the industry’s competitiveness grows, the state is steadily reducing subsidies to green electricity producers. nine0005 Production of solar panels at the Meyer Burger plant in Freiberg Photo: Meyer Burger

In turn, the profits of German companies producing solar energy equipment and providing services for it, both in Germany and abroad, are growing. In 2016, according to Destatis, the industry’s revenue amounted to 2.6 billion euros, five years later it grew by 39% to 3.7 billion euros. With such growth, it is not surprising that solar energy, like many other sectors of the German economy, is experiencing an acute shortage of personnel. nine0005
