The German Federal Network Agency has reported that PV installations in Germany were significantly sluggish in August, with the country adding only 330MW of new PV capacity, compared to 612MW in August 2011 and 543MW in July 2012.
As a whole, Germany added 5.24GW of new PV capacity during the first eight months of the year, which brings the country’s installed PV capacity to over 30GW. However, the less than impressive figures during the month of August were not a big surprise as the German environment minister Peter Altmaier announced last month that around 320MW of PV had been installed in August.
