In Germany, net public electricity generation from renewable energy sources reached a record share of 62.7 percent in 2024. Solar power generation reached a new record of 72.2 terawatt
Far from being a sun-drenched country, Germany boasts one of the world''s highest solar power outputs. The country triggered the large-scale launch of the technology with guaranteed feed-in tariffs in the
Wind power took first place as the strongest net electricity producer, followed by photovoltaics, which increased its production by 21 percent in 2025 and overtook lignite for the first time.
Concentrated solar power (CSP), a solar power technology that does not use photovoltaics, has virtually no significance for Germany, as this technology demands much higher solar insolation.
Germany installed 16.2GW of solar PV in 2025, according to an analysis by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) and based on the energy-charts data platform.
Photovoltaic systems have a significant share of electricity generation in Germany. In 2024, the Federal Network Agency announced a total electricity generation of 431.7 terawatt hours
Germany produced 18% of its electricity through solar power in 2025, up from 14% in 2024, a significant leap that meant solar overtook both coal and methane gas in the country''s
Though sunnier regions elsewhere have the potential to generate far more electricity, in Germany falling prices, improved technology and political support have helped drive a solar balcony
From January to September, wind and solar exceeded fossil power generation for the first time in Germany, reaching a record 45% share. Germany is a leader in Europe for both solar and
