Hello everyone,

Apparently, a new funding program from the N-Bank is set to start at the end of the month.

In Lower Saxony, storage systems for photovoltaic (PV) installations with a minimum capacity of 4 kW are subsidized at 40%.

This almost makes you consider installing a small PV system on your roof just to take advantage of the funding.

Page from a funding guideline: Section 2 Subject of the funding; Section 3 Eligible recipients.

How cool, thanks for the tip! We are from Lower Saxony and had dismissed this before because it was still too uneconomical. But now, with the heat pump’s consumption, we get annoyed every day about the amount we feed in during the afternoon for 9 cents and then have to buy back later for around 25 cents or so. ^^

Thank you for the suggestion. I had always ruled out a storage system before, but with a 40% subsidy, it might actually be worthwhile.

There are even additional bonuses:

5.4 In addition to funding according to item 5.1, the following bonuses can be granted:
5.4.1 500 EUR per project, provided that a new electrically manageable electric vehicle charging point is installed as part of the project. The charging point must be registered with the responsible grid operator,
5.4.2 800 EUR for projects where the installed or additional photovoltaic system capacity exceeds 10 kWp,
5.4.3 20 EUR per m² (10.8 sq ft) of photovoltaic modules for the roofing of parking areas and other structural installations with elevated photovoltaic systems.

BAFA adds EUR 900 to that.
Is it possible to combine these?

Do you have to finance the whole thing through the N-Bank and then receive a credit? Or how does that work?

I believe this can be combined with the BAFA subsidy:

4.4 The funding of a project or parts of a project can be combined with other public funding from the federal government and the EU.
