The German solar trade association (BSW) has criticised government proposals to amend its Energy Industry Act.

The German Bundesnetzagentur has published the results of a renewables auction, which saw tenders granted for 264MW of rooftop solar capacity.

EU's solar power generation is expected to increase by 50TWh this year thanks to increased capacity installations, according to Rystad Energy.

Germany's BSW has announced a proposal to restore and strengthen the entire value chain of the European solar production industry.

Germany commissioned more than one million new solar power projects in 2023, according to the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW).

Germany added around 14GW of solar capacity in 2023, with the residential segment accounting for about half of the new additions.

The number of residential solar and storage systems installed in Germany increased 52% in 2022 compared with the previous year, whilst three quarters of Germans would consider installing rooftop solar.

The German Solar Industry Association (BSW) has signed an agreement with the Indian Skill Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ) to integrate skilled workers from India into the German PV industry.

The German Federal Network Agency has announced the results of its most recent auction for ground-mounted utility-scale solar PV, with 677MW worth of applications received and just 609MW approved out of a possible 890MW tendered.

Germany’s government is planning to slash red tape for new renewables projects as part of a new package of measures that will see the country’s already ambitious solar deployment targets be raised even further.
