Germanys national, federal highways could host 54 GW of PV
From pv magazine Germany
Germany's BASt has assessed the potential for PV installations along the nation's highways in a study for the Federal Ministry of Transport.
It said that Germany's roughly 50,000 km of highways could host 24 GW to 48 GW of solar capacity. Noise barriers could add 3.2 GW to 4.2 GW, parking areas 1 GW to 1.2 GW, vertical barriers 0.5 GW to 0.6 GW, and rest-area buildings 0.13 GW to 0.15 GW.
BASt said that road surfaces were excluded from its assessment. The study analyzed nationwide potential without examining specific areas due to a lack of data on land ownership and conservation restrictions.

November’s Africa-focused edition of pv magazine looks at the prospects of ‘Made in Africa’ solar panels and novel approaches to involve PV companies in funding grid infrastructure and to make buying domestic solar electricity as simple as getting the groceries. Elsewhere, we consider intercontinental interconnectors and India’s nascent green hydrogen industry.
Federal Autobahn GmbH is developing a national registry to identify sites and facilities for solar deployment, with consideration for the economic feasibility of building and operating systems.
If the company doesn’t require facilities for its own use, it plans to grant third-party rights to municipalities, residents, or investors to develop solar installations. Federal Autobahn GmbH is also finalizing the necessary contractual frameworks for these arrangements.
State Secretary Susanne Henckel said the ministry will consistently evaluate opportunities to incorporate solar systems during the planning, construction, and expansion of highways to maximize potential.
“We already created the legal framework in 2023 with the Approval Acceleration Act, which accelerates and simplifies the expansion of photovoltaic systems on and along federal motorways,” said Henckel. “Now, together with Autobahn GmbH, we are quickly initiating the next steps necessary for practical application.
In 2023, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) and its Austrian partners installed a system above a highway rest area near Lake Constance to test the concept. Switzerland is also studying the feasibility of building a 14 MW solar plant over a motorway in the canton of Fribourg.
