Overview

• Berlin’s Senate has extended the Masterplan Solarcity through 2030, setting a goal of generating 25% of the city's electricity from solar energy by 2035.
• As of the end of 2024, solar power accounted for 4.7% of Berlin’s electricity, with 42,000 installations supplying approximately 131,000 households.
• Eastern districts like Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Pankow, and Treptow-Köpenick lead in new solar installations, reflecting higher growth in areas with more new construction.
• Germany, with 100 GW of installed solar capacity, ranks fourth globally and is projected to generate more electricity from solar than lignite in 2025.
• The push for solar growth comes as global installations are expected to surpass 600 GW in 2025, highlighting the need for advanced storage solutions to integrate renewable energy into power grids.
