How many gigawatts of photovoltaics will Germany have in 2022?

Based on 2022, an additional capacity of only 7.5 gigawatts has been installed, which is not nearly enough to build the total planned capacity of 215 gigawatts of photovoltaics in Germany by 2030. Capacities must be built up, especially in the free-field sector, in order for new solar installations to be connected to the grid on the desired scale.
