What is solarzentrum Berlin?

To start tapping more into the potential of solar energy, both in the private and the public sector, the SolarZentrum (solar centre) Berlin was opened in May 2019. It is a component of the “Masterplan Solarcity”, which works as an independent advisory centre on the topic of solar energy (SolarZentrum Berlin, only in German).

How much solar power does Berlin have?

According to the master plan study for the “Masterplan Solarcity Berlin”, the State of Berlin owns 5.4 % of Berlin’s buildings. Their roof surfaces account for 8.3 % of the solar potential (SenWEB 2019). On the public buildings in Berlin, there are 691 PV systems with a total installed capacity of 42.1 MWp (as of April 1, 2023).

Are solar panels mandatory in Berlin?

The set of measures stipulated in the master plan is accompanied by the Berlin solar law. Solar panels have been mandatory since January 1, 2023. The installation and operation of photovoltaic systems have been mandatory since then for new and existing buildings under certain conditions (SenK 2021).

What is the Berlin solar ordinance 2023?
