Roof-mounted installations for family homes increased by 40 percent to nearly 3 GW, but installations on company building roofs shrank to a little over 1.2 GW. Large ground-mounted array installations climbed 70 percent to over 2.4 GW for projects supported under the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and by 22 percent to 0.8 GW for installations built under power purchase agreements (PPA) outside the EEG support scheme. By the end of 2022, the total installed solar PV capacity was 66.5 GW, distributed over 2.65 million individual installations. With an output near 62 terawatt hours (TWh), solar power contributed twelve percent to net power production in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">The German government\u2019s climate plans and especially the European energy crisis have greatly accelerated demand for solar power installations in the last year, with many households regarding PV arrays and solar thermal installations a solution that is cheaper, more secure and also more affordable in the long-term. However, the rise in expansion volumes is not nearly enough to fulfill government target levels for the next years, which would mean a tripling of annual expansion volumes to reach a total capacity of 215 GW by 2030, or 22 GW per year. Industry representatives have urged to relocate production capacities from China to Europe in order to ensure sufficient hardware is available for fulfilling the expansion targets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">Source: Clean Energy Wire<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate Change News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3501147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3502888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
