The German electricity grid is part of the European interconnected grid. Strengthening the cross-border interconnection capacity of currently approx. 20 GW enables a better balancing of volatile PV electricity production via European electricity trading.
Most solar power plants in Germany are connected to the low-voltage grid; Figure 17 illustrates how they are distributed according to plant size.
Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption. Consequently, an exponentially growing number of homeowners and companies store solar power for times when solar generation is low.
Germany 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
Most solar power plants in Germany are connected to the low-voltage grid; Figure 17 illustrates how they are distributed according to plant size. Many systems generate solar power
