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.

Wow, what am I doing wrong then? We need 4000 kWh for two people for 200 m² (2,150 sq ft) of living space... and another 4000 kWh for heating and the electric car... I only had 1500 kWh when I lived alone?!Nothing at all, we also need a bit over 3000 kWh for two people. I don’t understand how anyone can manage with 1500 kWh. But maybe those people have especially energy-efficient large appliances, the PC runs only half an hour a day, no cooking is done, and so on.

I don’t understand how it’s possible to manage with 1500 kWh. I also find that hard to imagine. That was roughly our consumption as a household of two people 20 years ago. For 4-5 people, the average is usually around 3000-4000 kWh. This includes daily cooking, clothes dryer use, etc., without a heat pump.

We need 4000 kWh for two people in 200 m² (2150 ft²) of living space … and another 4000 kWh for heating and the electric car … I was at 1500 kWh alone last time?!With an air-to-water heat pump, controlled ventilation, and household electricity, the three of us come to about 7500 kWh. It really depends on usage. Do you work from home?
That makes a huge difference to our electricity bill.
Also, we rarely watch traditional TV (1–2 devices in use in the evening) but often play video games together in the evening (6–8 devices in use).
Working from home is not just the two laptops running but also in our case four monitors, lights, coffee machine, and so on – basically all the things you usually use for free in an office.
I can confirm that. Four people and around 4,000 to 5,000 kWh of household electricity per year. With controlled mechanical ventilation. However, there is also a lot of cooking, a large refrigerator and freezer chest, and the dryer is used very frequently.
I also researched this at one point. Naturally, there is a wide range, but about 1,000 kWh per person per year is rather average (excluding heating and hot water).
But if you rarely cook or bake, don’t use a dryer, and don’t have a freezer… then there can be significant differences.

I don’t find that unrealistic at all. We have consistently used 700-800 kWh, even in the last two years with a lot of home office and a small child, it was only around 1000-1100 kWh. Sure, a house needs a bit more, but 1500 would roughly be my estimate for our consumption (without a heat pump). 4000 seems quite extreme—do you also run a small data center? If you have been living in an apartment so far, you’re not paying for technical electricity directly but it’s hidden in the heating costs—that means pumps and operation of the gas boiler. In a single-family house, that quickly adds up to 300 to 500 kWh per year (p.a.), which now directly appears on your electricity bill. Additionally, there’s a balanced mechanical ventilation system in the house that also consumes 300 to 500 kWh.
For us, because of the baby, we added a tumble dryer (which we never had before, around 300 kWh) and a freezer (250 kWh).
We used to have 1500 kWh in the apartment and now 3500 kWh in the house (without a heat pump and excluding the electric car). Home office hardly happened in the apartment but is now the standard situation.
Oh, and if you use a lot of KNX or dimmers in your house—that all has standby consumption too!
