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.

If they could reach a compromise, that would be a great outcome. I’m sure I can still find some roof space... 😎

When we are home and not working from a home office: 10 kWh
When we are not home: 5 kWh. I find that a 50% consumption when no one is home is quite high. When we are home and not working from a home office: 10 kWh
When we are home and working from a home office: ? kWh
Base load (without presence) 5 kWh? --> results in an average continuous load of 208 W.
Refrigerators/freezers/TVs and other receivers and consoles on standby/other continuous consumers? Only you know your household.
As already suggested, measure the consumption of individual devices over 24 hours.
I have never measured the base load in our house.
In the first years in the house, we always had about 2700 kWh per year, then after replacing some lights with LED, about 2400 kWh per year for three people.

Is Santa Claus bringing them? 😉You have to invest a lot upfront to save money later. 😎
Will this calculation actually work out?

I have another question for everyone… because it’s been bothering me, I measured our daily electricity consumption when we’re home and when we’re not:
When we’re home and not working from home: 10 kWh, when we’re away: 5 kWh. I find 50% consumption when no one is home quite high. All our appliances are new… how can I find out where the high standby load is coming from, and how does your consumption look in this regard? Controlled mechanical ventilation, heating circulation pump, refrigerator, freezer, router. Check the specifications in the manuals to see what they consume. That could already account for up to two-thirds, the rest is just a lot of small devices.
Is it supposed to be this high? I suspected the dryer and washing machine for our high consumption of 4000 kWh per year, but they weren’t running during that time… I will try testing individual devices, like completely turning off the TV, and then measure again.
I have a heat pump and an electric car, but those are not included in the household electricity consumption of 4000 kWh. It must be some standby power because the base load seems very high, and the annual consumption also seems high for just two people.
