✦ AI Brief
Construction of new solar power plants in Germany is slowing down. Fewer new solar power systems are being built, with newly installed capacity down year-on-year. The decline is particularly sharp in the residential sector, with peak capacity in the home segment dropping by 21%. Commercial rooftop segment and balcony power plants also show signs of slowing down, but ground-mounted systems are experiencing strong growth. The German Solar Industry Association warns against further cuts to subsidies, citing the recent energy crisis as a reason for increased demand.
