Made in Germany gives an inside view of the global economy, provides gripping business reports from the heart of Europe. From the world’s financial markets to the offices of top CEO’s, our reporters are where the economic action is. Every week top-flight business analysts visit our Berlin studios and explain current economic developments as they happen. Freiburg in the south-west of Germany is home to the most modern solar community in the world. The Plusenergiehaus® is based on a multiple modular design system and shows how solar power not only saves electricity costs but also brings in money. The solar panels on the rooves of these new houses produce more power than they use. The surplus is fed into the public power grid, allowing home owners to actually earn up to 5000 euros a year. Designed by local architects, this trailblazing solar energy estate attracts scores of international visitors keen to see how it's done. Joachim Eggers on a place in the sun.

Grexit Scenario: What happens next?
Should Greece leave the eurozone, the country would revert to ...
Should Greece leave the eurozone, the country would revert to the drachma. The government would print the old currency en masse, which would rapidly devalue. Meanwhile Greece would still have to pay back its outstanding debts in euros - all the more difficult given its faltering export economy.
