Installed-base analytics: market share, growth, saturation

The dataset is a full census of what is installed, so it measures the market directly, not from a survey. Example: the German wind fleet by manufacturer, the solar build-out over 25 years, and capacity by state.

Source: aggregated from multiple publicly available energy datasets. Own analysis.

Reading it: ENERCON and Vestas together hold roughly 61.1% of installed MW. The rising “Ø MW/turbine” down the newer entrants shows the shift to larger machines, useful for repowering demand forecasting and warranty/replacement TAM.
