Germany saw the addition of 615 MW of new PV capacity in June, according to the latest figures from the Federal Network Agency – the Bundesnetzagentur.

This compares to 548 MW in May this year and 428.5 MW in June 2021. The newly installed solar power generation capacity for the first six months of this year was 3.8 GW. In the same period a year earlier, 2.75 GW of solar capacity was added.

Of the monthly new additions, 364.5 MW was represented by PV installations with a capacity lower than 300 kW, built under the country’s feed-in tariff scheme, while the remaining capacity comes from PV systems selected in auctions for PV systems exceeding 750 kW in size.

The cumulative capacity of all subsidized PV systems in Germany reached 55.9 GW at the end of June.

*The article was updated on August 1 to reflect that the newly installed PV capacity for the first six months of 2022 is 3.8 GW.

Presumably these are nominal amounts, not real generation – in other words: would be 59.9 GW at 12:00 noon on the 21st of June, no clouds.

The true power of AC for instance is not the nominal voltage (which varies from one jurisdiction to another, one person’s 138 kV is another’s 144kV) but around 2/3 of that for the purposes of Work

I don’t know the method intermittent generators use. I suspect they don’t want me to know.
