Solar systems in Germany: installation numbers, market leaders, manufacturers, coverage, and tech trends – key facts on the booming PV market in 2026.
The German government has therefore decided to increase the share of renewable energies in Germany''s (gross) electricity consumption to over 80% in 2030. To this end, the Renewable Energy
In this section, you can find fact sheets that summarize the most important market indicators for the German photovoltaic, solar thermal and solar battery storage market.
In Germany, an incentive system based on a state-guaranteed feed-in remuneration was probably one of the drivers of what we call the first boom in solar PV, and was very successful.

During the Reagan administration in the United States, oil prices decreased and the US removed most of its policies that supported its solar industry. Government subsidies were higher in Germany (as well as Japan), which prompted the solar industry supply chain to begin moving from the US to those countries. Germany was one of the first countries to deploy grid-scale PV power. In 2004, Germany was the first country, together with Japan, to reach 1 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity. Since 2004 solar pow
