German FiT to be reduced as September PV installations rebound

  •   September installations topped 980.829 MWp, up from only 329MWp in August, bringing total PV installations in the country this year to 6.22GW.

Solar module installations in Germany rebounded significantly in September, according to the latest figures from the German Federal Network Agency.

September installations topped 980.829MWp, up from only 329MWp in August, bringing total PV installations in the country this year to 6.22GW.

The growth rate remains much higher than what the German government has wanted, which has been an annual figure of around 2GW. Germany has now reached a cumulative installed figure of over 31GW.

Installation data used to amend the FiT rates means that a 2.5% cut each month through to the end of the year is expected.

  • Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
