A recent report showed how despite a bad patch in Germany's photovoltaic sector, country's wind energy sector has managed to remain firm. Having said that things are still not that fine, they used to be at some point of time.

There are chances that Germany would be facing a lot tough competition in the time to come especially from China. It was in year 2009 and 2010 that things started losing sheen and prices started tumbling down with competition rising in photovoltaic sector.

"Its products are not so technologically complicated as the wind sector's and thus it loans itself to mass production. China's not quite up to the German or European level yet on wind turbine technology. But that could change", said Sven Kirrmann of Germany's Renewable Energies Agency, while affirming that the country's wind industry has been able to weather a lot.

He further added that there is hell lot of maintenance required in wind power sector as compared to solar modules, which are very well supported by German firms.

As of now, Germany is third in the global market behind China and the US when it comes to wind turbine manufacturer, and that's what makes things all the more strong.
