Hello everyone,
Since I have no prior experience, I would like to get some general information.
Our new building will be heated using an air-to-water heat pump.
What would generally and overall be the advantages, potential savings, and costs of installing a photovoltaic system on the roof? Is it worthwhile or not?

Same question as to the first regarding the removal of the feed-in tariff when the cap is reached. His statement matches that of the first solar installer: it does not affect small systems. Now I am completely confused. Did you ever ask him where he gets such nonsense from?
According to current legislation, it could end overnight, and then you’re left with your system but no compensation...
One can only hope that politics will change something – but I think most people haven’t even realized that it’s already 2020.

Or when will the specialized committees discuss the topic of feed-in tariff again? Or are there currently no upcoming deadlines, dates, or other related information?

Economy and Energy/Committee - 16.10.2019 (hib 1127/2019)
Berlin: (hib/PEZ) The Economic Committee has opposed removing the cap on solar subsidies immediately. With votes from CDU/CSU, SPD, AfD, and FDP, the members rejected a draft bill (19/13517) from the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen faction during their session on Wednesday. Only the Left Party, alongside the bill’s initiators, supported the draft, which proposed ending the cap on solar system subsidies.
The Greens advocated their proposal arguing that the cap could be reached in just a few months; the economy and consumers needed planning certainty, so now was the time to decide on it. CDU/CSU responded that removing the subsidy cap was part of the climate package. The bill was no longer necessary since the government was on a good path regarding this issue. The SPD faction confirmed this, stating that planning certainty was provided as it was clearly defined that the cap would be removed unconditionally, according to a member.
The AfD faction described photovoltaics as too expensive and uncompetitive. They are not against the technology itself, but it must prove itself in the market, said a member. The FDP faction also wants to bring the industry closer to the market and therefore opposes abolishing the subsidy cap. In contrast, the Left Party stated that electricity from coal and nuclear power is highly subsidized, including through hidden costs. Additionally, the announcement of a climate package alone does not create planning certainty for companies. Facts need to be established.
In the "Draft Act to Amend the Renewable Energy Act 2017," the deputies from Bündnis 90/Die Grünen explain that the current regulation provides that once an installed capacity of 52,000 megawatts (approximately 52,000 MW) is reached nationwide, no more systems are subsidized through feed-in tariffs. "The increasing uncertainty and lack of planning security for new solar systems even before reaching the cap should have been avoided through timely follow-up regulations under the Renewable Energy Act; however, these have not yet been presented." They argue for lifting the subsidy cap on solar systems at 52,000 megawatts.
A corresponding clause was also removed from the draft of the Coal Phase-Out Act.
