We start our analysis with the current cost of a ground-mounted solar photovol-taic power plant in Germany, representing one of the most developed markets for photovoltaic power plants
Sustained growth is forecasted in the market for new PV capacity for years to come. Concurrently, battery systems are expected to reach a capacity of at least 100 GWh by 2030, reflecting a transformative shift within the German energy system towards renewable energy integration.
In July 2024, Germany recorded its monthly record solar power output level to date of 10.1 terawatt hours (TWh) – despite sunshine levels being lower than the previous year. Solar power accounted for around 43 percent of the 23.6 TWh of electricity generated from renewables in that month, according to data from the economy ministry (BMWK).
Solar arrays can contribute a much greater share to the German power mix during particularly sunny times. In July 2024, Germany recorded its monthly record solar power output level to date of 10.1 terawatt hours (TWh) – despite sunshine levels being lower than the previous year.
Main Findings According to the base scenario by the ETIP PV, the cumulative global PV capacity would increase from 1.5 TW at the end of 2032 to about 5.5 TW by 2030, and to 30 TW by 2050. The OPEX for utility-scale is expected to decrease from €12.5 ($13.6)/W/year at the end of 2023 to €9/kW/year in 2050, while for rooftop solar it is €10/kW/year.
Fraunhofer ISE says solar panels achieve up to 980 full load hours per year in Germany, equalling about ten percent of the year - or less than half of the amount that wind power can deliver. The researchers estimate that 1,030 full load hours are possible in the country.
To date, most battery storage systems in the German electricity system have been used exclusively to optimize self-consumption. Consequently, an exponentially growing number of homeowners and companies store solar power for times when solar generation is low.
