In the first half of 2020, Germany added nearly 2.4GW of new solar capacity

According to the latest data published by the German federal network agency Bundesnetzagentur, 447 MW of solar capacity was installed in Germany in July 2020, an increase of 11 MW (up 2.
2%)
from June 2020.
In the same month last year, 302 MW
were installed in Germany.

In June 2020, Germany added 437 MW of new solar capacity, down 2%

by the end of July.
Among them, nearly 2.
4GW of solar installations were added in the first half of 2020 (1H), compared to 2.
1GW
in the same period last year.

Germany added 3.
3 GW of new solar capacity in 2013, 1.
9 GW in 2014, 1.
5 GW in 2015, 1.
52 GW in 2016, 1.
75 GW in 2017, 3 GW in 2018 and 3.
9 GW
in 2019.

In terms of installed capacity, COVID-19 does not seem to have had much impact
on solar installations in Germany.

Recently, France's data and statistics research institute announced that the country added 379 megawatts of solar capacity
in the first half of 2020 (1H).
As of June 2020, the cumulative installed total in France reached 10.
3 GW.
