Germany added 2.72 GW of PV in eight months
Germany’s Federal Network Agency (the Bundesnetagentur) has reported 327.1 MW of PV generation capacity was connected to the grid in August.   The activity extended the recent upward trend in monthly new builds – around 241 MW of capacity was added in May, 270 MW in June and 310 MW in July. In the first eight months of the year, newly installed PV capacity topped out at 2.72 GW, the Bundesnetzagentur reported.   Of the new capacity deployed in August, a good 235 MW was represented by rooftop installations and 18.6 MW by ground-mounted plants built outside the national tendering scheme. A further 928 kW of solar systems were registered under the tenant electricity scheme   This month the FIT for solar systems with a generation capacity no larger than 750 kW will fall another 1.4%. In the ‘direct marketing’ system category – mandatory for arrays with a generation capacity above 100 kW – the FIT payment is €0.0742/kWh.   For 40-750 kW roof systems the FIT will be €0.0818/kWh, for up-to-10 kW systems the payment will be €0.1058/kWh. All 10-40 kW arrays will receive €0.1030/kWh.   According to the Bundesnetagentur, Germany reached a cumulative solar capacity of around 48.65 GW by the end of August, just 3.35 GW short of the long-standing 52 GW cap which was set to halt incentives but which the German government has pledged to remove under its new Climate Change Act.

Germany's Solar Installations up 12% With 421 MW of Solar Added in October 2020
Germany included 421 MW of solar photovoltaic installations in October 2020, a 12% rise compared to 376 MW added in October 2019, according to the most recent data from Federal Network Agency Bundesnetzagentur. The nation had actually installed 387 MW the previous month. Based on the data released by the government agency, collective solar installations in the nation stood at 53.18 GW at the end of October 2020. In August 2020, Germany added around 400 MW of solar capacity, a 6.32% decrease contrasted to 427 MW of additions in July 2020. Germany had actually added around 1.22 GW of new solar photovoltaic or pv installments in the third quarter (Q3) of 2020, a 34% increase from the exact same quarter last year, according to the most up to date data from the federal firm. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Germany added around 3.5 GW of solar capability in the initial nine months (9M) of 2020, a 17% rise contrasted to the 2.98 GW of installments in 9M 2019. Germany mounted a complete capacity of 3.3 GW in 2013, 1.9 GW in 2014, 1.5 GW in 2016, 1.75 GW in 2017, and 3 GW in 2018. Complete solar setups in 2019 got to 3.9 GW. Recently, Bundesnetzagentur exposed that solar proposals won the complete capability in the most up to date 202 MW wind and also solar auction in Germany. The tender was oversubscribed by 518 MW, and also there was not a solitary bid for wind projects. In October 2020, Bundesnetzagentur announced that its tender for 96.4 MW was oversubscribed and also obtained 87 bids for regarding 393.3 MW of solar projects. The firm would certainly award a total amount of 30 bids for concerning 103.1 MW of projects. Bids for these projects varied in between EUR0.049 (~$0.058)/ kWh and 0.054 (~$0.063)/ kWh. Previously the German federal government announced its strategies to enhance the country's overall solar ability from the existing 52 GW to 83 GW in 2026 and 100 GW in 2030. The country additionally intends to expand its onshore wind project's cumulative capability from the existing 54 GW to 65 GW in 2026 and 71 GW in 2030.

Germany deployed 447 MW in July
Germany deployed around 447 MW of brand-new PV capability in June, according to new figures released this week by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). May and also June saw freshly set up PV power get to 446 MW as well as 437 MW, respectively. In July 2019, new enhancements totaled 292 MW. In the very first seven months of 2020, developers attached 2.80 GW of solar to the grid contrasted to 2.38 GW in the very same period a year previously. The country's cumulative solar capacity covered 51.98 GW at the end of July. Virtually 355 of the 447 MW deployed so far this year are attributable to PV projects that were executed outside of the tender scheme for solar plants going beyond 750 kW in dimension. The ground-mounted systems with an output of approximately 750 kW, which can be developed outside the tender plan, comprised an overall of 32.7 MW of the complete brand-new ability for July. In September, feed-in tariffs and also market premiums will certainly once again drop 1.4%. Depending upon kind as well as dimension of system, FITs range in between EUR0.0669 and EUR0.0877/ kWh. In the straight marketing system category-- necessary for varieties with a generation capability above 100 kW-- the payment is EUR0.0603/ kWh.

Germany's 2.1-GW Solar Tender: Project Limit Unchanged
Germany's Federal Network Agency has opened a 2.1-GW solar tender for ground-mounted projects, with a 20-MW limit per project. The tender, which closes on July 1, is part of efforts to accelerate solar deployment in the country. However, legal changes under Solar Package I, including raising the project limit to 50 MW and introducing higher price caps for special solar projects, are still pending approval from the European Commission.The maximum value for this tender round is set at EUR 0.0737 per kWh, with a separate sub-category to be established once Solar Package I is approved. In the first round, the Agency awarded 2,234 MW to 326 successful bids, with prices continuing to decrease as the solar industry grows in Germany.
