According to Bundesnetzagenur, Germany has deployed around 905 MW new PV capacity. The total of 1,146 MW fell in May and 1,449 MW in June 2024.
Systems on the roof were good for 439 MW of the new capacity that was installed in June, while 319 MW mounted on the ground contributed to the ground. The rest came from other system types.
During the first half of 2025, the cumulative PV installations reached around 7.1 GW, compared to around 8 GW in the same period last year.
More than 3.23 GW was connected to the grid in January and February, prior to the implementation of the ‘Solar Peak Act’. The legislation, which has been in force since March, eliminates a fee for PV system managers during hours of electricity prices for a negative spot market. There were 389 such hours in the first half of 2025.
The total installed PV capacity of Germany is now 107.37 GW.
