From January to July 2025, Germany’s cumulative PV installations reached about 8.64 GW. This figure is slightly lower than the 9.34 GW recorded during the same period in 2024, reflecting a modest slowdown in the pace of solar expansion. Despite this, the country continues to advance its renewable energy goals through consistent additions to its solar infrastructure.
Of the new capacity added in July, rooftop solar systems contributed 628.7 MW, while ground-mounted projects accounted for 581.9 MW. The remaining capacity came from other types of installations, such as balcony or small-scale systems, highlighting the diverse range of solar applications in use across Germany.
With these additions, Germany’s total installed PV capacity now exceeds 109 GW, reinforcing its position as a leader in renewable energy. The growth in both rooftop and ground-mounted systems demonstrates the country’s commitment to expanding clean energy sources to meet rising energy demands and environmental objectives.
“This sustained progress in solar installations supports our efforts to build a sustainable energy future,” said a Bundesnetzagentur spokesperson. “The contributions from both rooftop and ground-mounted systems are vital to achieving our long-term renewable energy targets.”
The continued expansion of solar capacity underscores Germany’s focus on integrating renewable energy into its national grid, supporting efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy sustainability.
