Every 4 Seconds a New Solar Panel in the Netherlands
That’s 8 million panels per year.
Assuming them to be 360 Watt, that’s almost 3 GW peak per year.
Or 0.3 GW continuously (on average).
Under the Dutch sun, one panel yields 300 kWh/year.
8 million panels: 2400 GWh/year = 2.4 TWh/year.
Current annual Dutch electricity consumption: 120 TWh.
Current share renewable electricity: 33.4%
66.6% of 120 TWh is 80 TWh.
At the current rate, it would take another 33 years to source all electricity from solar.
Fortunately, there is also a wind energy effort.
