Germanys Solar Capacity Grows Amidst Yearly Decline

Germany deployed approximately 1.4 GW of new photovoltaic (PV) capacity in July 2025, marking a slight increase from June’s 1,033 MW. Cumulative installations for the first seven months of the year reached around 8.64 GW, down from about 9.34 GW during the same period last year. Rooftop systems contributed 628.7 MW of the new capacity, while ground-mounted projects added 581.9 MW. The total installed solar capacity in Germany now exceeds 109 GW.

Germany deployed approximately 1.4 GW of new PV capacity in July, according to Bundesnetzagentur. The total increased from 1,033 MW in June and remained flat compared to around 1.4 GW in June 2024. During the first seven months of 2025, cumulative PV installations reached around 8.64 GW, down from roughly 9.34 GW in the same period last year. Rooftop systems accounted for 628.7 MW of the new capacity installed in July, while ground-mounted projects contributed 581.9 MW. The remainder came from other system types. Germany’s total installed PV capacity now stands at over 109 GW.
