Germany’s renewable energy industry is in full swing and delivering new generation capacity to the grid at unprecedented levels. With 90 GW of installed capacity, as of mid-2024, of which 7.5 GW were newly installed in the first six months of 2024, the solar market is likely to crack the 100 GW mark sometime in 2025.
