Subsidies for solar thermal solar container power generation

Can I apply for a subsidy for photovoltaic solar panels?

You can apply for a subsidy for photovoltaic solar panels (solar PV). These must be solar panels with a peak output of ≥ 15 kWp and a connection to the grid with a total maximum power output of more than 3 x 80 A (a large-scale grid connection).

Is geothermal energy eligible for a Sde++ subsidy?

These categories are explained under the section on low-carbon heat technologies. Geothermal energy is eligible for an SDE++ subsidy. We make a distinction between geothermal energy used for the production of renewable heat and geothermal energy used for the production of low-carbon heat.

Can I get a subsidy for a wind or solar farm?

You may be granted a subsidy if your power generation facility is directly powered by suficient renewable electricity supplied through a direct connection whenever it is operating. If you want to produce hydrogen year round, the wind or solar farm will therefore have to have suficient excess capacity.

Why does Germany need a solar-plus-storage subsidy?

That compares to the effective 100% requirement that solar-plus-storage projects used to need in order to qualify for an investment tax credit (ITC) in the US, and still do for Germany’s Innovation Tender. The subsidy is needed because BESS co-located with PV are ‘not profitable’, the government said.

Do I need a 'haalbaarheidsstudie' to apply for a solar Pvt subsidy?

If you are applying for an SDE++ subsidy for ‘Solar PVT panels with heat pump’, you must perform a ‘haalbaarheidsstudie’. Always include a detailed map to scale clearly showing where the solar PVT system will be sited. If other facilities exist or are to be installed at the site in question, please clearly indicate this too.

How much does a kWh subsidy cost?

The initial estimate for the subsidy is €0.14-29 per kWh of energy discharged. Independent research and consultancy organisation CE Delft has been heavily involved in the analysis of the scheme until now.
