Große Hoffnungen und brüchige Koalitionen: Industrie, Politik und die schwierige Durchsetzung der Photovoltaik

  • Ergen, Timur

Abstract

Die direkte Sonnenenergienutzung hat seit den 1970er-Jahren einen beachtlichen technischen Fortschritt und große Zukunftshoffnungen hervorgebracht. Doch trotz des hohen Mobilisierungspotenzials in Wissenschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft und der daraus resultierenden großzügigen Förderung blieb die Photovoltaik bis Mitte des letzten Jahrzehnts eine Zukunftstechnologie ohne Marktchancen. Timur Ergen zeigt, dass diese Entwicklung auf Probleme sektoraler Ordnung zurückzuführen ist: In Industrie und Politik kam es wiederkehrend zu Umsetzungsproblemen und Konflikten, die verhinderten, dass die Solartechnik effektiv weiterentwickelt und kontinuierlich unterstützt wurde.
