The PV Strategy identifies eleven fields of action and suggests further measures for the accelerated expansion of photovoltaics in Germany. This article summarises the
Find out how Germany is investing in large solar projects to help achieve its 2030 target of generating 80% of its electricity from renewable sources.
In the Federal Solar PV Strategy (May 2023, Section 4 EEG), the national expansion target was set at 215 GWp of installed capacity in 2030 and a PV share of 30 per cent of total electricity
A YouGov survey conducted in late May on behalf of BSW-Solar found that over half (56%) of 450 companies with PV-compatible rooftops plan to install a solar system within the next three

Germany, the only European solar market with sustained annual deployment in the double-digit gigawatt range, must accelerate even further to meet its ambitious 2030 PV targets.
PVTIME – On 5 July, the German Solar Industry Association (BSW-Solar) announced that Germany''s solar capacity had reached 107.5 GW, marking the halfway point

Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
1. Verbund Visiolar Germany solar PV park The Verbund Visiolar solar PV park is a sizable project planned near Berlin, with a capacity of 2,000 MW. This solar plant will span 3,459 acres at first, with plans to expand further across 49,421 acres. Its sheer scale makes it one of Germany’s most anticipated solar projects.
In 2023, 15.1 GWp of solar PV was deployed in Germany, of which ca. 7 GWp (~46%) were residential systems (<20 kWp in size), 3.9 GWp (~26%) were C&I rooftop systems, and the rest, so 4.2 GWp (~28%) were ground-mounted systems.
Check out the table below for detailed German solar feed-in tariffs valid from May 2024 since implementation of Solar Package 1 (green numbers have changed with implementation of the new package).
To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption. Consequently, an exponentially growing number of homeowners and companies store solar power for times when solar generation is low.
In recent years Germany has implemented the Easter Package of 2022, published the Solar Strategy in 2023, introduced the EEG 2023 and is currently in the process of implementing Solar Package 1 (“Solarpaket 1”). These policies have defined Germany’s solar goal and are laying the stepping stones of how to reach it.
