According to experts from the Fraunhofer Institute, the land potential for the expansion of photovoltaics in Germany is immense - and without any significant conflicts with agriculture or nature conservation. In Baden-Württemberg alone, the suitable area is 3.850 km² and therefore more than 500.000 football pitches in size. With innovative approaches such as Agri-PV, an output of 230 GWp could be realised. Figures for the whole of Germany are still being collected and analysed.
Particularly exciting: In 2014, the expansion potential for PV in Germany was still estimated at 3.164 km² - thanks to new technologies, this has now been significantly improved.
