ᐅ Commissioning a photovoltaic system and charging an electric vehicle.

Hello everyone,
Our photovoltaic system is scheduled to be put into operation soon. I have several questions related to this topic and hope to get some helpful ideas.
1. I am currently dealing with all the tax paperwork. Monthly VAT returns through Elster and so on seem relatively straightforward. Still, does anyone have a link, guide, or website that explains this topic clearly for beginners?
2. The topic of one or two meters for household and heat pump has come up here several times. For now, I have decided to stick with two meters. Since ideally, I want to power both the heating and household with the photovoltaic system, the PV vendor recommended a "power to heat" setup. Does anyone have experience with this and can offer advice? The electrician who will install the system soon was more cautious and wanted to cover only household electricity with the PV system. Which is better?
3. Now, this is a bit off-topic: Since my car has broken down, I am considering getting an electric vehicle. Does anyone have experience with how well charging an EV through the photovoltaic system works? In winter, of course, it’s probably less effective since the car won’t be at home during the day. The wallbox is already ordered. However, I am still unsure whether this makes sense. The car would stay in the garage continuously on weekends, so there should be enough hours to have it fully charged by Monday.
4. Now this is even more off-topic: Since house construction and the upcoming outdoor landscaping are costly, an unplanned vehicle purchase hurts the budget a bit. Since I want to keep my reserves untouched, I’m considering leasing an electric car. Thanks to environmental incentives, the monthly costs should be relatively low. I had an appointment at a dealership yesterday. When I compare their offer with those online, there are sometimes very large differences. Common leasing platforms also offer deals from dealerships, but often cheaper than the local dealer. Does anyone know why there are such differences and whether online offers are reliable? Has anyone leased a car online?
Thanks and best regards

Oh really? I thought you had to register a business.Not here in NRW. You do have a business, but you don’t officially register it. It’s a simplification. Otherwise, it would cause unnecessary costs (and work) with the Chamber of Commerce.

Ah ok, but probably you could do it if you wanted to? Yes, it’s possible.
You are also exempt from trade tax up to 10 kWp.
You don’t need to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce up to that size either.
In general, I believe you wouldn’t have to pay a Chamber of Commerce fee anyway if your profit is under €5200.

From my experience over the past few years and with several leased vehicles, there has NEVER been any request for business reports or anything similar. Only the business license was required. Okay, this year with Renault, they wanted a profit and loss statement (BWA). This was once, out of around 5 to 7 leased vehicles.
