Wind power took first place as the strongest net electricity producer, followed by photovoltaics, which increased its production by 21 percent in 2025 and overtook lignite for the first time.
Germany produced 18% of its electricity through solar power in 2025, up from 14% in 2024, a significant leap that meant solar overtook both coal and methane gas in the country''s
Solar farms are set for a record stretch of power sector dominance in Germany after becoming the single largest generation source in the country at the earliest point of the year ever.

Photovoltaic systems have a significant share of electricity generation in Germany. In 2024, the Federal Network Agency announced a total electricity generation of 431.7 terawatt hours
Since 2004 solar power in Germany has been growing considerably due to the country''s feed-in tariffs for renewable energy, which were introduced by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act, and
Far from being a sun-drenched country, Germany boasts one of the world''s highest solar power outputs. The country triggered the large-scale launch of the technology with guaranteed feed-in tariffs in the
Wind power took first place as the strongest net electricity producer, followed by photovoltaics, which increased its production by 21 percent in 2025 and overtook lignite for the first time.
The rise in solar power generation in 2025 was not exclusive to Germany but was a trend seen across the European Union, according to Fraunhofer ISE''s analysis.
