Photovoltaics and storage in Germany: What changes with the new “Peak Solar Energy Law”?

The new regulatory framework aims to improve the integration of renewable energy into the German electricity grid. However, experts warn of its possible effects on the growth of certain sectors. “The regulatory changes aim to remove barriers to the expansion of solar energy and energy storage, but they will not have a significant impact on the pace of new photovoltaic installations,” says Carsten Körnig, CEO of Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft eV (BSW), to Strategic Energy Europe.
