Solar Radiation in Germany in November: Higher Levels Recorded in the South

Solar radiation levels in Germany during November showed clear regional differences, with significantly higher values recorded in southern areas. On average, solar irradiation across the country reached around 30 kilowatt-hours per square meter, exceeding the long-term November average.

As in many previous years, a pronounced north–south gradient was evident. Southern regions benefited from stronger solar irradiation, making them particularly favorable for solar energy generation during late autumn. In some alpine areas, solar radiation reached levels well above historical norms.

These regional variations are highly relevant for photovoltaic yield analysis. Higher solar potential in southern Germany translates into improved performance of solar installations, even during months typically associated with lower sunlight availability.

By contrast, northern regions recorded solar radiation levels close to seasonal averages. The lowest measured values aligned with long-term data and reflected typical weather patterns rather than exceptional conditions.

Such solar resource assessment data provides valuable insights for project planning and system optimization. Understanding seasonal and regional differences in solar irradiation supports more accurate forecasting of photovoltaic output and helps improve the efficiency of solar energy deployment.
