Germany Solar Share of Electricity by Year 2010-2025

About This Dataset

Percentage of Germany's electricity generated from solar power in each year since 2010, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

Germany's solar share rose from 1.92% in 2010 to 17.91% in 2025, but not in a straight line. Growth stalled almost completely between 2014 and 2017, when the share moved only from 5.73% to 6.01% in three years, then resumed. There is a visible dip in 2021, when solar slipped from 8.73% to 8.52% - output depends on weather as well as installed panels, so a duller year can reverse a share even while capacity grows. The last four years contain the fastest run in the series: from 8.52% in 2021 to 17.91% in 2025, more than doubling.
