Germany deployed approximately 905 MW of new PV capacity in June, according to Bundesnetzagentur. The total fell from 1,146 MW in May and 1,449 MW in June 2024.
Rooftop systems accounted for 439 MW of the new capacity installed in June, while ground-mounted projects contributed 319 MW. The remainder came from other system types.
During the first half of 2025, cumulative PV installations reached around 7.1 GW, down from roughly 8 GW in the same period last year.
More than 3.23 GW was connected to the grid in January and February, prior to the implementation of the “Solar Peak Act.” The legislation, in force since March, eliminates compensation for PV system operators during hours of negative spot market electricity prices. There were 389 such hours in the first half of 2025.
Germany’s total installed PV capacity now stands at 107.37 GW.

What utter garbage. Germany, like most of Europe, is being deliberately deindustrialised and companies are moving out because of the cost of energy. All this renewable bs is a front to move industries to the far east. Also, these figures are completely made up as they always are.
The high cost of energy in Europe is largely due to the high cost of natural gas, which is the marginal price setting fuel in many hours in the power system. Natural gas in Europe is expensive largely due to the loss of Russian supply – although this tightness should now ease going forward as new supply comes on. Solar with lower capex, quicker build and zero cost fuel generally has a much lower LCOE than fossil fuels.
