Germany, September 2023 - The German photovoltaic (PV) industry set a new record in August 2023 with the addition of a whopping 1,056 megawatts (MW) of installed PV capacity, according to newly released data from the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur). This figure sets a new high for monthly growth in installed PV capacity, significantly surpassing the August 2022 figure of 640 MW and the July 2023 figure of 1.2 gigawatts.
The German solar market continues to thrive as solar power technology continues to develop and mature, providing a strong impetus for renewable energy utilisation. The rapid growth of photovoltaic power generation in Germany is not only helping to reduce carbon emissions, but also creating jobs and driving the clean energy transition in the country.
Solar modules: the engine of solar energy
Solar modules, also known as solar modules or photovoltaic cells, are one of the central parts of a solar photovoltaic system. They provide sustainable power to the PV system by converting sunlight into electricity. These modules usually consist of multiple solar cells, and when sunlight hits the cells, the cells generate an electric current that is transmitted to an inverter for further processing.
Inverters: converting energy
The inverter is another key component that converts the direct current (DC) power generated by the pv cells into alternating current (AC) power that can be used in domestic or commercial power systems. The inverter not only enables the conversion of electrical energy, but also has intelligent features that monitor and manage system performance to ensure a stable and efficient power supply.
Solar cables: a bridge to power
Solar cables play a key role in solar pv systems. They are specifically designed to connect components such as solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems and grids to ensure the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. These cables are weather resistant and flame retardant, adapting to the demands of outdoor environments.
As the importance of renewable energy continues to grow, innovations and developments in pv technology will continue to drive further breakthroughs in the clean energy sector in Germany. Successful growth in the pv industry will not only help to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, but will also drive economic growth and environmental sustainability.
