New PV capacity addition in Germany month after month has been consistently improving - in the first 9 months of 2019 close to 3 GW were installed, as per the Federal Network Agency. That is about as much as the country added last year in total.

Cumulative Installed Solar PV Capacity Of Germany Reached 51.98 GW With Over 447 MW Added In July 2020, Says Federal Network Agency

After two consecutive months of adding over 300 MW of new solar power capacity, Germany installed 286.9 MW in the month of September 2019 with rooftop solar additions during the reporting month accounting for over 260 MW.

Compared to a year back when the PV additions in September 2018 was reported to be 198.7 MW, in August 2019, the installations were reported to be 327.2 MW, which the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has now adjusted at 321.99 MW (see 327 MW PV Installed In Germany In August 2019).

However, in relation to the first nine months of the last two years, 9M/2019 saw the country just stop short of a 3 GW milestone as installations reached 2.97 GW. That is 0.5 GW higher than its annual target of 2.5 GW and at the same level that was installed in the entire year of 2018. In 9M/2019, the first quarter was the star performer adding over 1.26 GW.

With the latest PV installation numbers in, Germany’s cumulative deployments for the technology till the end of September 2019 had exceeded 48.89 GW.
