2 million photovoltaic installations in Germany
At the end of October, there were 2 million photovoltaic installations in Germany, according to the BSW Solar association. They are capable of producing 50 billion kWh per year.
The production capacity could be
reduced by half if the law on renewable energies is amended in 2021. In addition, almost one in four photovoltaic systems is threatened by premature shutdown in the 2020s, as the draft Renewable Energy Act does not yet guarantee the continued operation of photovoltaic systems that have been in operation for more than ten years.
Yet Germany needs a rapid expansion of solar power because the phasing out of nuclear and coal is planned. By 2023, the electricity grid could be in short supply.
