The German auction for solar installations on buildings and noise barriers once again ended up oversubscribed, this time by 1.2 times.

Auction prices awarded ranged from €0.0388/kWh to €0.0495/kWh, with an average volume-weighted price awarded at €0.0476/kWh.

Unlike the price ceiling for wind, which has not changed compared to 2024, all three auctions involving solar PV have been revised down to take into account the decrease in the forecast levelised cost of electricity, said the Bundesnetzagentur.

Germany has been consistently adding over 1GW of solar PV capacity every month since March 2023, and has passed a total of 90GW capacity.

Germany has granted approval to 2.2GW of ground-mounted solar projects in its latest round of auctions, up from 1.6GW in the previous round.

The German government has launched a new rooftop solar tender, seeking 258MW of PV capacity open until Monday 3 June 2024.

Germany’s latest solar PV auction for ground-mounted capacity has ended three and half times oversubscribed with nearly 5.5GW of bidding capacity submitted.

Germany’s auction for solar installations on buildings and noise barriers has awarded contracts to 88 bids with a cumulative capacity of 191MW.
