Regional promotion
Subsidies are available in many municipalities, the amount of which can vary.
Support often depends on the number of modules and the overall performance of your system
Nationwide promotion
Although there are no nationwide subsidies for balcony power plants, dhe German government has abolished VAT for solar installations. This means you save 19 per cent of the purchase price - a great initiative to promote the expansion of PV.
