Germany deployed around 675 MW of new PV capacity in November, according to the latest figures from the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur).
This compares to 706.5 MW in October 2022 and 410 MW in November 2021. The newly installed capacity total for November 2022 consisted of 596 MW of subsidized PV systems and 73 MW of installations built without public support.
The Bundesnetzagentur says that 1,518 MW of new PV capacity must be added every month in order to achieve the German government's solar installation target of 215 GW by 2030. In the first 11 months of 2022, developers connected more than 6.8 GW of solar to the grid, compared to 4.84 GW in the same period a year earlier.
Germany's cumulative solar capacity surpassed 65.52 GW at the end of November.

I have questions. What is the backup source of energy when the sun does not shine/the wind does not blow as planned? How and where do you dispose of your hardware wind turbines/solar panels/batteries when they are kaput after 15 years? How much land does all these plants take up? How does that compare with nuclear plants? How much of the wild birdlife including endangered species have been decimated by these plants? What source of energy is used to mine the raw materials for wind turbines and solar panels? What are solar panels made of amongst other? Is it not good old carbon and quartz? How much lithium is available in the world to make batteries? What are cost to people who can afford residential solar if replacement is needed every 15 to 20 years? Where do the world’s masses who cannot afford sh1t fit into all this?
Ah the usual fossil-fueled “sceptic”, please just ignore (most of the “questions” apply even more for coal/gas and also atom energy)
