Market Study – The German PV and Battery Storage Market

Free Webinar

Tuesday, July 30, 2024 | 3pm–4:30pm CEST | Webinar language: English

The BSW – German Solar Association cordially invites you to an exclusive webinar. Germany has consistently maintained its top position as the largest solar market in the EU, at times operating nearly one-third of all solar installations in the region. By 2030, Germany aims to install 215 GW of solar capacity nationwide, equating to an annual addition of more than 20 GW. Can the market grow quickly enough to achieve these ambitious expansion goals?

Join us for this webinar to gain insights into the current state of solar energy in Germany. We will delve into various market segments including residential, industrial, commercial, and energy providers. Additionally, we will provide a detailed overview of regional PV market developments and present the latest market reports.

The recording and the speakers' presentations are available here .
