7月29日德國網(wǎng)絡(luò)機(jī)構(gòu)透露, 2010年上半年太陽能安裝量增加了大約3GW，太陽能電池板運營商都為了要趕在入網(wǎng)補貼減少前抓緊進(jìn)行擴(kuò)產(chǎn)。

聯(lián)邦機(jī)構(gòu)主席 Matthias Kurth 說，訂單在7月份的最后幾周像洪水一樣席卷而來，因為很多組件商都想要利用政府的補貼，但在7月份開始訂單相對減少了，政府在2011年，將會在入網(wǎng)補貼上有近一步的下調(diào)。專家估計在未來20年光伏生產(chǎn)商補貼可能仍然會增加到1250億美元。

在2009年,太陽能容量增加了3.8GW，德國光伏總計安裝量為9.8GW。在過去的一年大約160000數(shù)據(jù)報告已經(jīng)提交給了給了聯(lián)邦網(wǎng)絡(luò)機(jī)構(gòu)。

The German Federal network Agency has revealed that solar capacity increased by approximately 3GW in the first half of 2010 as solar panel operators rushed to register their installations before the feed-in tariff cuts.

Newly installed solar capacity reportedly rose by 1.7GW between January and May 2010, based on the analysis of the 85,000 applications received for solar installations during that period. The agency then received a further 50,000 applications in June alone, which should bring the total newly installed solar capacity over 3GW for the first six months.

"Applications were flooding in during the last weeks of June as many operators wanted to secure higher feed-in tariffs, which were reduced considerably from July 1 2010," said Matthias Kurth, president of the Agency.

Further subsidy cuts, to take effect in 2011, will be linked to annual capacity growth with a target rate of 3,500MW, and are expected to be announced in October 2010. Experts estimate that subsidies paid to solar-power producers may still add up to ?00 billion (US$125 billion) over the coming 20 years.

In 2009, solar capacity increased by 3.8GW to a total of 9.8GW. Overall approximately 160,000 data reports have been filed with the Federal Network Agency in the past year.
