Unusually sunny weather good news for solar power producers

The production of solar power in the Czech Republic has hit record levels recently thanks to unusually sunny weather for the time of year. For instance the country's biggest solar power station at Busanovice in south Bohemia produced twice the amount of electricity its operators would normally expect in April. At the same time the amount of power produced by the country's solar stations is negligible. The Temelin nuclear power station generates as much in 25 minutes as Busanovice does in a whole year.
