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
With ambitious government targets and framework conditions to match that ambition, a PV capacity totaling 215 GW by 2030 and 400 GW by 2040 is realistically achievable.
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
In 2022, Germany set a legally binding target to produce 215GW of solar power by 2030; the nation has now reported that they are halfway towards reaching this target.
The solar energy landscape in Germany is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with projections indicating that the market is set to grow from 115.12 gigawatts
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.
Not only does the country have the highest European PV ambitions for 2030, but it has also deployed the most solar capacity in Europe to date - as depicted below in a graph from Solar

Germany is halfway to reaching its 2030 solar energy target, with around 107.5 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity on roofs, balconies, and in open spaces, according to the
