Web page with graphs and interactive and dynamic images made from statistics data from Bundesnetzagentur in Germany with explosive market growth of photovoltaic installations in the record year 2009.

In the following graph the distribution of new 2009 installations among kWp classes is given: number of new installations as well as total installed new capacity in that class, per month. Classes have been defined by Polder PV (note that "1-5" stands for: class containing installations from > 1 kWp up till, and including installations from exactly 5 kWp). The demarcations in Germany's EEG Law are 0-30, 30-100, 100-1.000, and over 1.000 kWp (no upper limits for installation size).

Example of calculation for July 2009:
14.210 new PV installations in Germany (green columns), with total capacity of 307,4 MWp (yellow columns); 159.852 new installations in 2009, with total capacity of 3.806,3 MWp. Share of July 2009: 14.210/159.852 = 8,9% in installations, and 307,4/3.806,3 = 8,1% in MWp installed.

Almost every next month had larger shares in comparison with the previous ones. The only deviation: new capacity reported in the holiday month of August. After that, capacity strongly increased again.

Note the very large shares of December in the yearly total, in particular with respect to MWp installed (38,4% of total new year capacity), the combined result of many large PV-systems as well as many thousands of smaller installations (total: 42.188 in this month only...) reported as connected to the grid to Bundesnetzagentur.

Graph comparable to previous one, but here the deviation of the outcome per month has been shown in % with respect to the yearly average for number of new installations per month (green) and MWp newly installed per month (yellow). Up till the early summer month June the number of new installations was below the yearly average, but after that it grew beyond that mark. December showed a spectacular end of year rush to install (and report to Bundesnetzagentur) before the new feed-in tariffs (fixed into EEG Law) would be introduced as per January 1, 2010.

MWp installed remained below the yearly month average up till November 2009: the capacity claimed in December was so huge, that only that month rose far beyond that mark, thereby putting all other months far behind, all falling below the yearly average.
