"We are definitely going to stay under 1.5GW this year," Wedepohl told an audience of solar decision makers at the Intersolar conference that started in Munich today.
He added that the estimate for the market in Germany looks very similar for 2016.
The country missed the government-set target last year, when only 1.9GW of new solar was added after feed-in tariff (FIT) based support declined rapidly over previous years.
