In the third quarter of 2023, the Free State of Bavaria was ahead of the rest of Germany in terms of solar power potential. This is according to calculations by Eon.
Eon analyzed the photovoltaic yield in the individual federal states based on data from the German Weather Service. "From the beginning of July to the end of September, an owner of a single-family home in Bavaria was able to generate an average of around 2,922 kWh of solar power with their PV system. This corresponds to a CO2 savings potential of around two tons per solar system," explains Benjamin Jambor, the member of the Essen-based energy company's management board responsible for customer solutions and photovoltaics.
The amount of electricity generated from the sun within three months by one system is therefore enough to cover the annual consumption of an average private household.
Saarland follows closely behind Bavaria in terms of solar potential in the third quarter: around 2,829 kWh of solar power was produced here in the months from July to September. Almost on a par are Saxony with 2,825 kWh and Baden-Württemberg with 2,812 kWh. In Thuringia, an average solar system on a single-family home generated 2,789 kWh.
Of the three months surveyed, July was the month with the most solar power in Bavaria. Owners of an average single-family home solar system were able to generate around 1,030 kWh of solar energy. This month was also the strongest in Saxony with around 1,050 kWh of solar power. In Saarland it was September with around 976 kWh.
