Germany‘s annual PV additions remain stable in 2025

The installation of new photovoltaic (PV) capacity in 2025 overall remained relatively stable in 2025 compared to the previous year. However, while the newly installed PV capacity of ground-mounted solar parks increased, the installation of PV on residential and commercial rooftops declined significantly in 2025.
