Germany installed around 1.28GW of new PV capacity in June 2026, nearly unchanged from 1.29GW in May and above 1.1GW in June 2025, according to the Federal Network Agency. New PV additions reached 7.39GW in the first half of 2026, slightly below around 8GW in the same period last year. Germany’s cumulative installed solar capacity reached 125.2GW by the end of June. Ground-mounted systems accounted for the largest share of June additions at 572.7MW, while rooftop systems added 493.8MW across nearly 32,400 installations. Plug-in solar devices added another 51.7MW. SMM believes Germany’s monthly PV additions remain elevated, although first-half growth has slowed slightly year on year, with rooftop and ground-mounted connection trends still worth monitoring.
