Support programs for balcony power plants
Regional promotion
- In many communities, subsidies are available, and the amount can vary.
- Often the support is based on the number of modules and the overall performance of your system.
Nationwide promotion
- Nationwide, there are no incentive programs for balcony power plants.
- But: the German government has abolished the value-added tax for solar systems, which lets customers save 19 percent on the purchase price - an initiative to promote expansion.
