TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The IWR noted that the actual volume of solar power generated was even higher, as electricity consumed directly on-site is not included in public grid feed-in statistics. The record reflects the growing contribution of solar energy to Germany’s electricity mix and highlights the rapid expansion of the country’s photovoltaic capacity. During July, average midday solar power output exceeded 40,000 MW, equivalent to the generating capacity of more than 40 nuclear power plants rated at 1,000 MW each.
