0.0853 EUR/kWh! Germany Announces Results Of Third Rooftop PV Tender

Germany's Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) has published the results of the country's third tender for rooftop PV, ranging in size from 300kW to 750kW. 163 projects with a total capacity of 204MW were selected from 171 projects with a total capacity of 212MW. The final price ranged from €0.07 ($0.073)/kWh to €0.0891/kWh, with an average price of €0.0853.

There are two types of tenders for solar energy in Germany, one is a specific technology tender for 750kW-20MW ground power station projects, and the other is a tender for 300kW-750kW rooftop photovoltaic projects. For the ground power station project, three tenders were held in 2021 for 617MW (March), 510MW (June) and 509MW (November). The average price in the latest round was €0.05/kWh. In 2022, three rounds of tenders totaling 3.6GW will be held, with the first round of 1107 MW awarded in April with 1084MW awarded in April, with two subsequent rounds expected in June and November.

In addition to the ground and rooftop tenders, a third category of technology-neutral innovation tenders was held in August 2021, with 155.6MW of solar and energy storage projects awarded out of a total of 250MW of tenders. In the previous round in March 2021, solar and energy storage projects were awarded all 258MW of tendered capacity.

Separately, the German Federal Network Agency launched a 50MW innovative solar tender in October 2021 for floating solar, garages and agri-PV, with a tender deadline of April 2022.

In 2021, Germany's photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 5.3GW, an increase of 8% year-on-year. While the Renewable Energy Act 2021 (EEG 2021) sets a target of 100GW of total solar PV capacity by 2030, new government coalition agreement sees a target of 200GW by 2030; Easter 2022 package Further raising this target to 215GW to deal with the fallout from the Ukraine war. Under the Climate Protection Act, the previous government agreed to give a big push to the deployment of renewable energy in the short term through higher tender volumes in 2022. The tendered solar capacity will jump from 1.9GW to 6GW, with the additional capacity being split equally between utility-scale and rooftop systems. From 2023, tenders for solar are planned to remain at around 2GW per year, however, the 2022 Easter package is expected to further boost tender volumes in subsequent years.

With Germany continuing to accelerate both rooftop and utility-scale solar deployment, the demand for reliable photovoltaic mounting components is also increasing rapidly. In particular, structural accessories such as aluminum alloy solar panel clamps play a critical role in ensuring the long-term stability, safety, and installation efficiency of PV systems.

As a professional manufacturer of renewable energy components, provides high-strength solar panel aluminum alloy clamps designed for various rooftop and ground-mounted PV installations. Manufactured with precision extrusion and corrosion-resistant surface treatment, these clamps ensure secure module fixation, excellent weather resistance, and long service life in demanding outdoor environments.

As the global photovoltaic market continues to expand, high-quality mounting accessories will remain an essential part of efficient and reliable solar power generation systems.
