More and more electricity in Germany comes from wind, hydropower and the sun. As the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ( ISE ) announced this week, the share of renewable energies in the overall electricity mix in Germany rose to over 40 percent for the first time in 2018. For comparison: In the previous year, the share of green electricity was 38.2 percent.

As the graphic shows, the largest share of green electricity last year came from wind power (20.4 percent). Solar energy came in second place, with a share of 8.4 percent of net electricity generation in Germany.

The hot, dry weather also contributed to the increase in solar energy last year, according to Fraunhofer ISE. The federal government's goal is to increase the share of renewable energies to 65 percent by 2030.

In order to achieve the goal, some federal states are relying on the solar obligation with photovoltaic systems on roofs and the solar obligation for open parking areas that can be provided with solar roofs, the so-called solar carports .
