Energiewende: Deutschland produziert 2026 so viel Sonnenstrom wie noch nie
Bereits Ende September hat die Solarstromproduktion in Deutschland den Vorjahreswert übertroffen. Welche Faktoren haben zu diesem Rekord geführt? Und welche Rolle spielen Balkonkraftwerke?
In September 2026, Germany produced more solar energy than in the entire previous year, with 90.2 Terawatt-hours of solar power generated by September 27th alone. This surpasses the total solar energy produced in 2025, which was 90.0 Terawatt-hours. The Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar) reported these figures to Berlin, based on Energy-Charts data from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE.
September 27th was declared Germany's "Solar Day" due to these record-breaking figures. Renewable energy production continues to grow, with solar power accounting for 17.8% of the total electricity injected into the grid during the first half of the year, a 3.5% increase from the same period last year. Wind power had a higher share of 29.4% during the same period.
Renewable energy sources produced 59.1% of the electricity injected into the grid during the first six months. The record was achieved due to many sunny days and new installations.
