Germany Installs 919MW Of Solar in September

The German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) said that in September this year, 919 MW of new photovoltaic systems were installed in Germany.

According to the latest data from the Federal Network Agency, Germany installed 919 MW of new PV capacity in September, compared to 1,056 MW in August and 750 MW in September 2022.The new PV capacity was installed in the first nine months of the year, compared to 5.6 GW in the same period last year.

In the first nine months of this year, developers connected 10.72 GW of solar energy to the grid, compared to just 5.6 GW in the same period last year.

This means that the German government's target of 9 GW of new installed capacity this year has been exceeded. In order to achieve the goal of a cumulative installed capacity of 215 GW by 2030, the Federal Network Agency has decided that new installed capacity (on a linear basis) must reach 1,578 MW per month. No month has reached this value so far this year.

The country's cumulative installed solar capacity exceeded 77.67 GW by the end of September.

In September, the total capacity of rooftop systems supported by feed-in tariffs or market premiums was 666 MW.This was also the lowest since February and a significant drop from previous months, when the segment had installed more than 800 MW in each of those months, and peaked at nearly 937 MW in June.
