Compensation

PHOTOVOLTAICS

Compensation

Together with you, we design the right system for every roof and every individual requirement. Let us advise you.

Grid feed

You will receive remuneration from your grid operator for the solar power you feed in if you feed the electricity you have generated yourself into the power grid. This feed-in tariff is guaranteed by the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) for 20 years.

In the EEG, the legislature made it clear by differentiating the feed-in tariff that photovoltaic systems should be installed on roof surfaces and structural systems rather than on open spaces.

 

The plant operator can also sell the electricity (unsubsidized) directly to an interested buyer. This is known as "direct marketing". From a system output of 100 kWp, this has even been required since January 1, 2016 and was also subject to an upper limit.


For the calculation of the remuneration of individual systems, the individual rates listed are calculated proportionally for the respective performance value of the system (mixed calculation of the respective remuneration classes according to system performance).

The tariff rates are regularly adjusted according to a mode defined in the EEG. One speaks here of a so-called “breathing lid” based on the most recently installed and remunerated photovoltaic systems.

The following remuneration rates have been in effect since May 1, 2020. The degression of remuneration is 1.4 percent per month due to the low level of additional construction.

Ownconsumption

Since January 1st, 2009, self-consumption of the generated electricity has been possible in the EEG. Until June 30th, 2010 this was only possible for systems up to 30 kWp, after that systems up to 500 kWp could also benefit from this variant. In the meantime, systems between 10 kWp and 1000 kWp required self-consumption or self-marketing, as only 90% of the electricity generated was remunerated by the EEG. Even for systems from 2009, it is usually worth changing later. Systems from 2009 receive a remuneration of 25.01ct for each kilowatt-hour they consume.


If you add in your savings from the electricity that cannot be obtained from the energy supplier, then you are already above the 43.01ct / kWh that is paid for feeding into the public grid. Rising electricity prices automatically increase the advantage over full feed-in Even if the remuneration for self-consumed electricity has been gradually reduced to now 0 ct / kWh, the calculation works out just as well. It should be noted that a sales tax and EEG surcharge may have to be paid for self-consumption.


Market integrationsmodell

With the EEG amendment 2012, the market integration model applied to all roof systems up to July 31, 2014 with a capacity of 10 to 1,000 kWp. If they were put into operation after April 1st, 2012, only 90% of the electricity produced will be remunerated via the EEG from January 1st, 2014. The remaining 10% are remunerated at the average market value of the total solar power produced in Germany (market value solar, average 2012 approx. 4.5 cents / kWh). With this regulation, the government wanted to create an incentive to use the electricity yourself and thus replaced the previous regulation on self-consumption.



The system category of the market integration model (10-1,000 kWp) represents a sharp limit (no mixed calculation). This means that the model applies to an 11 kWp or 999 kWp system and does not apply to a 9 kWp or 1,001 kWp system.


Storage systems

Since May 1, 2013, the state has been promoting the purchase of an electricity storage system with the "Storage Incentive Program". For example, you can apply for a low-interest loan from the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau ((KfW Programm 275)) and on top of that receive a state repayment grant of up to 30% of the acquisition costs. It is possible to apply for the loan in the amount of the repayment allowance. In addition, there is a redemption-free start-up period of up to three years.


Requirement:

  • the output of the solar system is less than 30 kilowatts
  • the PV system was put into operation after December 31, 2012
  • max. 60% power output of the installed power into the public grid
  • a suitable interface for remote parameterization is available
  • a seven-year current value replacement guarantee for the batteries
  • The interest rate and more precise conditions can be found in a KFW leaflet.
  • The information given here relates to photovoltaic systems in Germany that are eligible for payment.
  • No guarantee can be given for the correctness and completeness.
