ᐅ Incentives for Photovoltaic Systems – Easter Package

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.

That's about 210W of base load. Totally normal for a single-family house. You won’t find any particular power hog; it’s the sum of all the devices you typically have.

Where do these come from?
You buy them when the originals are broken. And since that definitely happens within the warranty period of the photovoltaic system, I don’t quite understand the question.

But that only works if the kitchen stays cold (or do you cook with gas).

Neither. Since my girlfriend follows a completely animal-free diet (which is quite difficult when eating out), we actually cook quite often. And if I want a proper meal, I’m happy to use an extra pot just for myself.
As someone rightly pointed out, the apartment still lacks technical power supply. But the regular household electricity capacity is adequate in terms of size. We simply don’t run gaming computers, Christmas lights, and so on. Refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, etc., nowadays use very little energy.

Well, it's good that the thread is active again. There are new developments: The Federal Council is now demanding double compensation for surplus energy feed-in.

If they could reach a compromise, that would be great. I’m sure I can still find some roof space... 😎
It’s basically already settled. The Bundestag has opposed it. But nothing is final yet.

That’s nonsense as well. The existing compensation, especially combined with the savings from self-consumption, fully covers the investment. This is not a subsidy as an incentive, but a full payment for the photovoltaic systems, and this has been the case for years.
The state might as well buy photovoltaic technology and send the installers to citizens for free.

Unfortunately, there are so many unattractive public buildings with potential for photovoltaic systems that the craftsmen would probably be fully booked for decades if the state started to focus on improvements in its own backyard.
