This summary consists of the most recent facts, figures and findings and shall assist in forming an overall assessment of the photovoltaic expansion in Germany.
With the deployment of approx. 16.9 GWp in 2024, the total number of systems is now over 4.8 million (including plug-in solar units) with a total capacity of approximately 100 GWp [BSW].
OverviewHistoryGovernmental policiesStatisticsCompaniesSee alsoExternal links
During the Reagan administration in the United States, oil prices decreased and the US removed most of its policies that supported its solar industry. Government subsidies were higher in Germany (as well as Japan), which prompted the solar industry supply chain to begin moving from the US to those countries. Germany was one of the first countries to deploy grid-scale PV power. In 2004, Germany was the first country, together with Japan, to reach 1 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity. Since 2004 solar pow
3.4 million PV systems were installed in Germany in April, 30 percent more than in the previous year. Not including balcony power plants.
By April 2024, the number of PV systems reached 3.4 million, nearly 30 percent more then the 2.7 million installed at the same time one year ago, according to the German Federal
Since 2004 solar power in Germany has been growing considerably due to the country''s feed-in tariffs for renewable energy, which were introduced by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act, and
More than one million new solar power systems with an output of around 14 GW were installed in Germany last year, more than twice the number of new PV and storage systems as were
Power generation 2025 Renewable power generation rose by around 2 percent, covering 55.3 percent of electricity demand in 2025. The main drivers were strong photovoltaic expansion and
The German solar industry reached a milestone at the start of the year, as the total capacity of all installed solar power systems surpassed 100 gigawatts (GW), according industry association BSW
