Solar share of electricity consumption
The actual share of solar electricity in Berlin's total electricity consumption fluctuates strongly. The current solar share can be determined by current weather conditions.
The calculated data on Berlin's solar electricity production can be downloaded here for further use.
Masterplan Solarcity
Berlin has set itself the goal of achieving an average share of 25% solar electricity in annual Berlin electricity generation. For this goal, an expansion requirement of 4,400 MWp of installed photovoltaic capacity was determined.

How much of Berlin's electricity demand could be covered by solar power annually or even today can be shown interactively below using the slider ↓ for different expansion scenarios. But different weather conditions also have a major influence on how much solar power is ultimately available. Depending on whether an average, favorable, or unfavorable weather year prevails, the solar share of electricity consumption varies.
493 MWp
4.400 MWp
With the currently installed capacity of 493 MWp MWp and a weather year with ▾ weather conditions, Berlin covers about –% of its annual electricity needs with solar power. This amounts to a coverage of –% during the summer months and –% during winter. An additional –% remain unused.
The graph below illustrates today's — Solar electricity production (MW) derived via today's weather conditions and the installed capacity set by the slider above, as well as a possible — Electricity demand (MW).

PV Expansion Development
A possible development path for PV expansion in Berlin was established in the Masterplan Solarcity study. This possible development path would allow the goal of 4,400 MWp to be reached by 2050. The chart below compares the actual expansion with this development path.

Berlin Districts Comparison
The expansion potential for photovoltaics varies at the district level, as the building stock and available roof areas are not equally suitable for photovoltaic expansion. The expansion requirement shown below is based on the assumption that each district contributes to the overall Berlin expansion target of 4,400 MWp according to its determined expansion potential. The actual potential is higher. More information on expansion potential at the district level can be found in the Masterplan Solarcity.
