According to this article, this writer says I'll be 151 years old before solar produces 50% of Germany's power ( if I read the article correctly).

I guess experts are a dime a dozen these days. Just pick a flavor or chart and go with it.
Uh, no. That’s not what the chart says.
The chart illustrates, that on May 25, 2012, photovoltaic power fed 22 GW (That is 22,000,000,000.00 Watt) into the power grid. That’s about as much as you’d get from 20 nuclear power plants, of which Germany still has 9, with the rest scheduled to be shutdown by 2022. That is more than either fossil or nuclear power plants generated that day.
Hydro, solar and wind power currently supply over 20% of Germany’s electricity generations and the goal is to reach 60% by 2050.
