Hello dear forum,
maybe some of you have faced the same situation or have the same question.
I couldn’t find anything clear on the internet regarding this.
Here is the initial situation:
- Solid brick house built in 1970
- Heating system with storage heaters running on 100% green electricity tariff, plus a tiled stove
- Roof insulated with insulation between rafters, attic insulated with XPS boards, plastic double-glazed windows,
so definitely not a modern insulation standard
- Annual energy consumption – daytime electricity (peak) 2,500 kWh (2,500 kWh) – nighttime electricity (off-peak) 7,400 kWh (7,400 kWh)
- Most of the living areas are heated with the tiled stove
In the coming years, the roof tiles will need to be replaced. From what I understand, in Baden-Württemberg, I would then have to install a photovoltaic system.
This raises the following questions for me:
- How am I supposed to finance this with the current high interest rates? The monthly cost, including the mortgage, would simply be too high.
- We can’t afford a complete renovation (insulation, new windows, heat pump, etc.).
- As far as I know, you can’t power storage heaters with a photovoltaic system, even with a battery storage, because they consume too much electricity. Plus, in winter, when we need the most electricity, too little electricity is generated...
- So, at most, a small photovoltaic system would make sense to cover our daytime consumption (about 2,500 kWh (2,500 kWh) per year).
- I have concluded that such a system is not yet economically viable for us, especially with the high purchase costs and high interest rates. Is it possible to avoid the photovoltaic installation requirement if you don’t have the financial means and only need to replace your roof tiles?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What approach did you take or what are your plans?
Thank you very much!

For existing buildings, it was decided at the beginning of 2022 and has been in effect since January 1, 2023, and 1% financing has not been available for a long time. Yes, and when a photovoltaic requirement was introduced in 2020 for non-residential buildings, it was completely unrealistic to expect that it would also apply to existing buildings if the roof is entirely replaced. Completely unexpected and unforeseeable. If only someone had warned us earlier... At the beginning of 2023, there was still affordable financing available. Although the discussion is pointless anyway. The original poster has the money and is just trying to avoid paying because they miscalculated. I have no sympathy for that. Stuttgart prices or not. The real problem is not the place of residence, but that too few people factor the necessary renovations into their cost estimates. So, exactly the root cause of this problem.
