Since 2004 solar power in Germany has been growing considerably due to the country's feed-in tariffs for renewable energy, which were introduced by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act, and declining PV costs. .
accounted for an estimated 12.2% of in 2023, up from 1.9% in 2010 and less than 0.1% in 2000. Germany has been among the for. .
Germany introduced its in 2000 and it later became a model for solar industry policy support in other countries. As of 2012 , the feed-in tariff costs about €14 billion (US$18 billion) per year for and solar installations. The cost is spread across all rate-payers in. .
The history of Germany's installed photovoltaic capacity, its average power output, produced electricity, and its share in the overall consumed electricity, showed a steady, exponential growth for more than two decades up to about 2012. Solar PV capacity. .

During the in the United States, oil prices decreased and the US removed most of its policies that supported its solar industry. Government subsidies were higher in Germany (as well as ), which prompted the solar industry supply chain to. .
Germany has about the same solar potential as , which has an average of 3.08 sun hours/day in Fairbanks. .
Some companies have collapsed since 2008, facing harsh competition from imported solar panels. Some were taken over like by . Major German solar companies include: • Aleo Solar•
