These levels do not apply for all countries. In sunny parts of the United States, for instance, solar power production is more even across the year, meaning the peaks are smaller relative to the total annual contribution. More importantly, solar can make up a far greater share of supply in countries with greater power demand in the summer than in the winter—the opposite of the German situation.
