REDUCING ENERGY COSTS AND EMISSIONS AT A GERMAN
To illustrate the savings potential of a microgrid solution for shopping centers, we created a business case calculation for a facility in Germany using HOMER GRIDTM simulation software.
View DetailsGermany is leaving the age of fossil fuel behind. In building a sustainable energy future, photovoltaics is going to have an important role. The following summary consists of the most recent facts, figures and findings and shall assist in forming an overall assessment of the photovoltaic expansion in Germany.
As of April 21, 2025, Germany's federal market master data register (MaStR) 11 lists 940,898 registered plug-in PV systems, of which 897,326 are operational (“In Betrieb”). Together, they represent a total installed capacity of 849.9 MWp (819.1 MWp operational).
To address these concerns, German authorities originally set a cautious upper limit for plug-in PV systems at 600 W (approximately 2.6 A at standard household voltage in Germany).
Although not shown in the figure, it's worth noting that roughly two-thirds of the newly installed capacity - about 10 GW per year - came from rooftop systems. Figure 1: Past net growth until 2024 and paths to reach goals (EEG2023) 1. Drivers Behind Germany's PV Boom in 2023/2024
