The preliminary draft of the climate policy package presented by German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the recent UN Climate Action Summit in New York dedicated a single phrase to solar energy, stating that the power limit of 52 GW, set for the photovoltaic capacity that can be installed in the country under the law that regulates incentives for renewables (the Renewable Energy Law, EEG), would be eliminated.

Recently, the federal cabinet approved the 2030 Climate Protection Program and, although solar energy still only occupies a marginal space in the 170-page document, there were at least some encouraging new indications.

The Government has raised its target for the solar to 98 GW by 2030, about twice the current photovoltaic generation capacity. That means that around 50 GW of new solar energy would have to be installed in the next 11 years, to generate around 90 TWh of solar energy by 2030.

The German Solar Industry Association welcomed the new and more ambitious goal for photovoltaics, but stressed the urgent need for new improvements and legislative amendments to make this goal realistic. The managing director, also pointed out that in the middle of the next decade almost 100 GW of installed solar capacity would be necessary if the federal government takes its climate objectives seriously.

To reach that type of level, the market barriers to the deployment of the site would have to be removed and the new objective must be included in the EEG, managing director said.
