PV Installations Dropped Below GW Level for 1st Time in 6 Months, but Over 10 GW Added in 9M/2023
Germany’s solar PV installations in September 2023 slightly decreased by over 21% to 919 MW, while the cumulative installations for the initial nine months exceeded 10 GW, surpassing the annual target of 9 GW. The adjusted August installations rose to 1.17 GW. Although September additions fell below 1 GW, the country’s total installed solar PV capacity reached over 77.67 GW. Rooftop solar systems supported under the EEG decreased to 666 MW, and large-scale solar capacity stood at 113.5 MW. Despite being below the monthly target, continued installations could see Germany ending 2023 with over 13 GW annual installed capacity, an 80% growth from 2022’s 7.2 GW.
