Germany hits 80 GW milestone
From pv magazine Germany
Germany installed 1,183 MW of new PV capacity in November, according to the latest figures from the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). This compares to 1,231 MW in October and 675 MW in November 2022.
In the first 11 months of this year, developers connected 13.18 GW of solar to the grid, compared to 6.8 GW in the same period a year earlier. The country’s cumulative solar capacity surpassed 80.74 GW at the end of November.
To achieve the nation’s target of 215 GW by 2030, the pace would still have to increase and an average of 1.58 GW per month would be required.
Of the newly registered capacity in November, almost 413 MW came from projects selected tenders. Almost 628 MW are represented by rooftop PV systems operating under the feed-in tariff scheme or direct marketing.
Another 128 MW comes from ground mounted projects, with the remaining 15 MW being represented by other system typologies.

The amount of power added they quote is for perfect sunny conditions faced optimally etc etc. I lived in Germany. You cannot see the sun 6 months out of the year… At all. It was estimated these panels installed there actually produce 20 to 30 percent of rated on average over the year. Add to that they shut all clean nuclear down and replaced it with more natural gas and coal , and they produce more CO2 now than 15 years ago.
We interrupt this comment for some breaking news: the above comment is complete and utter fossil FUD.
Real world data from my own PV installation, 9.9 kW peak, some 30 kilometers north of Hamburg.
Production per year:
2021: 8840 kWh
2022: 10190 kWh
2023: 9280 kWh
So much for “the Sun doesn’t shine for half of the year” nonsense. Co2 related emissions from Electricity generation are also down compared to 15 years ago. Don’t take my word for it, confirm it yourself within 30 seconds using google.
Get dumpstered fossil troll…
These are lies, CO2 emissions were reduced by 23% between 2007 and 2022.
I am not entirely sure where you lived in Germany but insolation figures are available and do not confirm your finger in the wind statement.
Neither does my personal experience confirm this.
