Germany is leaving the age of fossil fuel behind. In building a sustainable energy future, photovoltaics is going to have an important role. The following summary consists of the most recent facts, figures and findings and shall assist in forming an overall assessment of the photovoltaic expansion in Germany.
Proportion of Germany’s Installations Types According to Bloomberg NEF, a quarter of the residential photovoltaic (PV) systems installed across Europe in 2023 were equipped with energy storage systems.
Solar power only made up 4 percent of the regulated electricity [BNA2]. The derating mainly affects wind power, which is mostly produced in the north and for which there is not yet sufficient transmission capacity to southern Germany.
Solar photovoltaics are on the list of renewable energy sources Germany would like to transition to using more. In fact, in the European Union, Germany already produced the most electricity from solar PV plants in 2022, at around 60.8 terawatt hours. This was more than double the amount produced by Spain in second place and Italy in third place.
Solar photovoltaic systems could be a significant contributor, though their success also relies on long-term weather conditions. Discover all statistics and data on Solar photovoltaics in Germany now on statista.com!
Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
