Annual capacity additions of solar PV tripled within three years

Annual PV capacity additions in Germany in the year 2024 have tripled compared to annual PV capacity additions in the year 2021.

Battery storage capacity additions in Germany remain at record levels

According to preliminary estimates of BSW-Solar, the yearly battery storage additions reached a record level in 2024 again. Overall, almost 600,000 battery storage units were installed in 2024.

Battery storage capacity in Germany approaches 20 Gigawatt hours

According to preliminary estimates of BSW-Solar, the cumulative installed battery capacity in Germany reached approximately 19 GWh in 2024. This capacity distributes itself onto 15.4 GWh in the residential segment, 1.4 GWh in the commercial and industrial segment and 2.2 GWH in mass storage units. This storage provides a net rated power of 12 GW.

Mass Storage Capacity in Planning

According to data available to the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar), the installed capacity of mass storage could increase five-fold in cumulative terms over the course of the coming two years. This is the result of a recent market analysis by the consulting agency Enervis commissioned by BSW-Solar.

PV ensures clean electricity

A 70 square meter potovoltaic system with a nominal output of 13 kilowatts produces as much electricity per year as a four-person hoursehold consumes in total to cover all its energy needs: electricity for the household, up to 20,000 kilometers of driving in an e-car, and electricity for the heat pump to heat an averagely insulated single-family house.
