The German PV and Battery Storage Market
In 2019, 46% of all commissioned residential rooftop PV systems had already been paired with battery storage systems. Remarkably, this share surged to 77% in 2023, indicating a
Compared to solar thermal energy, there are far more photovoltaic systems registered in Berlin. As of July 7, 2023, 20,985 systems were in place, with a total installed capacity of around 230 MWp.
According to the master plan study for the “Masterplan Solarcity Berlin”, the State of Berlin owns 5.4 % of Berlin's buildings. Their roof surfaces account for 8.3 % of the solar potential (SenWEB 2019). On the public buildings in Berlin, there are 691 PV systems with a total installed capacity of 42.1 MWp (as of April 1, 2023).
As of March 29, 2023, there were about 8,250 solar thermal systems in the State of Berlin with an installed collector surface of more than 81,000 m² (last update as of December 31, 2015 for 7,733 systems, IP SYSCON 2016). Averaged over the years, the collector surface amounted to around 10 m² per system.
As part of updating Berlin's Energy Atlas, the frequency and quality of the data on solar systems, especially those with photovoltaics, will continually be optimised. Since May 2022, a digital version of the solar calculator has also been available as one of the measures of the “Masterplan Solarcity” (SenWEB 2019).
