ᐅ Upcoming Incentives for Solar Power?

Hello Forum,

we are just starting with a new build and will later renovate and refurbish the existing building accordingly.

The plan also includes a photovoltaic system with a suitable storage unit for a total of around 40,000 euros.

How do you assess whether this topic will receive dedicated support or incentives again in the coming months?

Thanks and best regards

The profitability of self-consumption will be significantly boosted by a substantial increase in retail electricity prices.

@Oetzinger … that was very nicely put 😉 That’s exactly what I expect. Why have subsidies for photovoltaics? More likely, mandatory requirements will come rather than additional incentives (for private individuals).

The only incentive is the slightly increased feed-in tariff that was approved last week. Some counties – for example, MR-BID in our area – provide subsidies of several hundred euros, depending on whether a storage system is included or not.

I don’t believe in new purchase subsidies either. Photovoltaic systems have long become profitable on their own. The current prices for new installations are driven by increased demand, supply chain issues, and a shortage of skilled workers. At the same time, Germany set a record last year for photovoltaic capacity additions.

A purchase subsidy wouldn’t be necessary at all and would only drive prices even higher.

If you want to save money, skip the battery storage.

Doesn’t this apply only to full feed-in systems? Or did I miss something?
