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.

The process is not entirely clear to me either. It would be necessary to inquire with the NBank about this. Perhaps they will publish further information soon. So far, I have not found anything about it on their website.

We currently have a 4.55 kWp system and, if the subsidy is approved, we would like to increase it to around 8 kWp and add storage.
I’m wondering what the best approach would be. I would like to change the solar installer; is it possible to get compatible modules from any other provider? The inverter will probably need to be replaced or maybe a second one added—I’m not sure which option makes more sense.

I always wonder why people don’t fully utilize their roof space for solar panels, as long as it makes financial sense. Especially now, with a guaranteed feed-in tariff for the next 20 years! Everything beyond my own electricity consumption is paid for. My 8.05 kWp system produced 6,800 kWh in 2019, of which I used about 1,800 kWh myself. This corresponds to savings of roughly €330. The remaining 5,000 kWh were fed into the grid at €0.12 per kWh. That results in a feed-in payment of around €600. Of course, taxes and other costs need to be deducted, but still, a significant amount of money remains. I believe the current feed-in rate is about 8.64 cents per kWh. The larger the system, the faster it pays off.

The system can probably be expanded by any other solar installer. Why shouldn’t that be possible? Find a good solar installer and check with them what your current inverter can handle. Getting a new inverter just for an additional 4 kW doesn’t seem economical to me.
@Golfi90 Why shouldn’t you be able to fit 10 kWp on your roof? The roof doesn’t look that small at all.

But the bigger the system, the faster it pays for itself.
