Germany’s solar power installation rose by 35 per cent year-on-year in the first four months of 2024, boosted by a rise in industrial, commercial and ground-mounted photovoltaics demand, solar power association BSW said recently. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sudden drop in Russian fossil fuel exports to Germany, Berlin has introduced several pieces of legislation to accelerate solar power expansion, part of Berlin’s plan to cover 80 per cent of its energy needs from renewables by 2030 and to become climate neutral by 2045.
