Photovoltaics is one of the most important technologies for the energy transition.
More and more households are opting for their own PV system
to reduce electricity costs and become more independent from the electricity market.
Due to rising energy prices and attractive subsidy programs, demand
for solar systems has risen sharply in recent years.
In Germany, PV systems benefit from various subsidies:
• Feed-in tariff according to the EEG
• VAT exemption for PV systems
• Regional subsidy programs
These subsidies make investing in a photovoltaic system particularly attractive.
The feed-in tariff guarantees PV system operators a fixed remuneration for electricity fed into the grid. This remuneration is paid for a period of 20 years.
In addition to the feed-in tariff, self-consumption plays an increasingly important role.
Solar power can be used directly in the household, for example for:
• Household appliances
• Heat pumps
• Electric cars
With an energy management system, solar power can be used more efficiently.
The system automatically controls devices and ensures that as much solar power as possible is used in one's own household.
