San Francisco, CA, USA: Solarbuzz Reports German PV Market Increased by 53% in 2005;
Growth Set to Temper in 2006
Germany strengthened its position as the leading national solar photovoltaic (PV) market in 2005
with growth of 53% to 837 Megawatts of newly installed capacity, according to the new
"German PV Market Report 2006" issued today by San Francisco based PV consultancy,
Solarbuzz LLC.
Of the 837 Megawatts, 7 Megawatts are accounted for by off-grid systems,
while the grid connect market (and focus of the new report) accounted for 830 Megawatts.
Residential customers continue to underpin the German PV market. They accounted for 40%
of new installations in 2005. The next largest segment of agricultural customers represented
28% of the market.
The pattern of changes in the market have been underpinned by differences in investment
economics for PV in each customer segment and this fast changing picture is a key element of
how the market will evolve over the next two years. The report also analyzes the flow of module
volumes through each part of the German business chain to characterize the key PV industry
activities in the market. It also profiles product and business chain developments.
"We undertook extensive discussions with a broad spectrum of companies and organizations active
through the distribution chain, to describe each of the five major customer segments," said
Solarbuzz's Aachen-based, Susanne von Aichberger.
Short-term German market performance will be impacted by declining customer segment
economics (individually analyzed in the report), driven mainly by rising global PV
module prices and the annual decline in feed-in tariffs for solar electricity. In addition,
its evolution will be governed by two key factors: the changing balance of global module supply
and demand and the impending review of the Renewable Energy Law (EEG) that sets market
incentives for renewable energies in Germany. These factors set the backdrop for the report's
five-year market segment forecast.
"With Germany now representing 57% of the world PV market, an in-depth report on this market
is the latest addition to Solarbuzz's suite of annual PV reports," said Craig Stevens,
President of Solarbuzz LLC.
"Germany is arguably the most commercially complex PV market at the moment. Starting this
project back in August 2005, we have taken our time to unravel the picture, including utilization
of in-country resources to complete the research",he added."As a result of its size, the
performance of the German PV market over the next two years will have significant consequences
for commercial outcomes in virtually every other regional PV market in the world."
