Hi everyone,
I’m starting a general discussion thread about Habeck’s photovoltaic Easter package. We are currently in the new construction phase and are considering waiting until all the details are clear. If it becomes interesting, do you have any information—or would you start right away? Without higher self-consumption, the topic of photovoltaics is becoming less and less attractive. I’ll quote an article on the subject:
“For private new builds, the coalition government aims to make the installation of photovoltaic systems standard. To this end, Habeck promised better funding rates and simplified use of photovoltaics.”
At first, I thought the Easter package mainly referred to commercial systems, but apparently, there is also support available for private homeowners.

Take a look at the new video from Finanztip on YouTube; it doesn’t look very promising, assuming a 13% return… That is indeed quite low. Nevertheless, the investment in their example breaks even after about 13.5 years (plus or minus 1.5 years depending on maintenance). And the “example family” does not have a heat pump or an electric car. In 10 years, most people will have at least one of these. (Yes, even those who don’t really want them ;-)
askforafriend18 Feb 2022 20:19Well, combustion engines will still be allowed until 2035 – then you’ll probably be driving that car for another 15 years, so it will already be 2050 🙂 it won’t happen that fast. The only question is whether fuel will then cost 5 euros per liter (nearly $5.40 per gallon).
Edit: But there is also the alternative of investing the 12,000 euros profitably instead of in photovoltaics.

Deliverer18 Feb 2022 20:24The market already shifted in favor of BEVs last year. Even the last major corporation (Toyota) has noticed and announced 30 BEV models. Currently, no electric vehicle manufacturer can produce as many BEVs as are in demand. In my opinion, the signs are clear. The €1.90 (about $2.00) per liter for premium gasoline this morning also sends a clear message.
But: nobody has to believe me. To be precise: please don’t believe me! Otherwise, it will take even longer for me to get my car...

Hi everyone,
I’m starting a general thread about Habeck’s photovoltaic Easter package. We’re currently in the new build phase and are considering waiting until all the facts are clear. Will this become interesting, do you have any information, or would you start right away? Without higher self-consumption, the photovoltaic topic is becoming less and less attractive. I’ll quote an article on this:
“For private new builds, the coalition government wants photovoltaic systems to become standard. Habeck promised better subsidy rates and simplified use of photovoltaics.”
At first, I thought the Easter package mainly concerned commercial installations, but apparently there are subsidies for private ones as well. You don’t wait for politics when building a house.
Is there anything more than just a hopeful statement in the press—like a draft bill, coalition agreement, or allocated funds? If not, nothing is likely to happen this year.
