October 2024 in Germany saw solar radiation levels that were consistent with long-term averages. However, there were significant regional deviations in solar output. According to the German Meteorological Service (DWD), Germany experienced an average global solar radiation of 55 kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m²) in October 2024—almost identical to the 1991-2020 historic average of 56 kWh/m².
The peak solar global radiation in October reached 75 kWh/m², aligning perfectly with the long-term average. The lower limit, 44 kWh/m², also mirrored the historic average of 46 kWh/m². The DWD uses these 30-year averages to make comparative assessments, incorporating both direct and diffused radiation data.
October 2024 also saw a decrease in solar radiation compared to September 2024, when Germany experienced an average of about 101 kWh/m². This reduction was primarily due to the natural shortening of days during the autumn season, contributing to a drop in global radiation.
Certain regions in Germany experienced unexpectedly high solar radiation this October. Areas such as the Alps, Pre-Alps, Lower Bavaria, parts of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, and the southwest, west, and northwest of the country enjoyed abundant sunshine. Conversely, lower solar radiation was recorded in areas along the Danube, including Ulm and Ingolstadt, Franconia, between Siegen and Marburg, and near Nordhausen.
The distribution of solar radiation across Germany showed notable regional variability, breaking from the usual southward trend. In some areas, solar radiation appeared more "chaotic" than typical, with pockets of high and low radiation even within the same regions.
