Use of solar energy in Czechia increasingly sharply

The use of solar energy in Czechia has skyrocketed in the last five years, the Czech News Agency said on Sunday. While just over 3,400 new solar power systems were installed in 2019, last year that figure had reached nearly 83,000. Investments in this type of technology are also growing considerably, amounting to almost CZK 45 billion last year; five years ago the figure was less than CZK 1 billion.

The recent development in this area differs significantly from a solar boom the country experienced 15 years ago, the Czech News Agency said.
