Mar 10, 2014 - Solar power production in the Czech Republic dropped by 4.74% on the year to 2,070 GWh in 2013, Czech News Agency reported, citing data by the Czech Photovoltaic Industry Association (CZEPHO).

According to the association, the figure was affected by unfavourable weather conditions as well as lower payments.
