A quick google tells me that as of 2021, the US had ~23GW of installed solar generating capacity, and Germany had ~59GW. As the US has roughly 4x the population of Germany, that means that Germany has roughly 12x the amount of installed solar capacity per capita.

Wikipedia gives different 2021 numbers including (percentage of global solar installed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_by_country

  China: 306,973 MW (35.8%)
  United States: 95,209 MW (11.1%)
  Japan: 74,191 MW (8.7%)
  Germany: 58,461 MW (6.8%)
  India: 56,951 MW (6.6%)

With 2020 numbers for percentage of electricity generation by solar: Germany 9.7%, Japan 8.3%, India 6.5%, China 6.2%, and US 3.4%

In addition, the US govt says [0] this year should have added 46,100 MW to the total. Electrek, if they are accurate, predicted an additional 5,600 MW on residential rooftops in 2022 [1].

Interesting. Looks like in my haste I may have been comparing Germany's total installed capacity with the US's newly installed capacity.
