Commission the photovoltaic system and charge the electric car.

Hope you applied for the subsidy before ordering the wallbox

Yes, I applied for it 2 months ago. As I heard, the funds are apparently exhausted. But all those who applied (and were approved) still receive the subsidy. So, lucky me. I’m going with one from SMA because the rest is also from SMA. I wanted to stay in the system. It does have 22kW, but it will probably be throttled and is therefore eligible for funding.

Back then I also found the GTE on a leasing bargain platform and then contacted some VW dealers. Only got rude offers back. Except one dealer almost next door accepted the online offer from Bavaria.

Then I’ll do it the same way. What the heck. Either yes or no. You have nothing to lose and nothing to give away.

First of all, it is very likely that you only have to file the advance notification quarterly (for one year, then annually).

I thought it was monthly for the first 2 years? Maybe I’ll have my tax advisor do all of this. He says he already has fixed appointments for other clients anyway. And the price he would charge would be peanuts. Still, it can’t hurt if I deal with it myself.

It is probably (very likely) often enough that the normal electricity consumption of the household is sufficient to absorb all the electricity from the photovoltaic system.

Can priorities be set for what gets supplied first? During the few hours of sunshine in winter, the electricity could be used entirely for the heat pump since no one is home anyway. Although, of course, I only want to run larger consumers like the washing machine and dishwasher during the day. But maybe someone else already has experience with this.

I find the property great, if only the range were greater (I drive partly 40,000 km per year).

That is probably true. My goal would be to fully charge the car over the weekend. It is not used 90% of the time on weekends. That way, I can drive to work for at least 3 days. And I can cover the rest with a carpool. For all family trips, we would use my wife’s company car.

And the leasing rates are amazing.

I might be a bit old-fashioned, but leasing was and still is basically a taboo topic for me. The idea of paying 250-300 euros per month (and that’s for a rather small vehicle) just to rent a car gives me a stomach ache. If I think about the rates for higher-priced vehicles... For me, a car is just a means to an end. Although it does have to be comfortable :-)

Didn’t you think it was monthly in the first 2 years? Maybe I’ll have my tax advisor handle all of it.

Only if he does it for very little money. In the last few days I filed my advance return for Q2. I didn’t time it, but it took less than two minutes. I only adjusted one number.
At my tax office, it’s quarterly for only one year. About 5 years ago, the last filing was still monthly (12 filings) before it changed to yearly (same tax office). But I hear from many that only four advance returns have to be done in the first year now.

Can priorities be set for what gets served first?

I don’t care, because having two meters with all the associated stuff is just too expensive for me. The rule is, first come, first served for electricity from the photovoltaic system. You can definitely do a lot with controls – but for that you need control technology, which costs money.

The idea of paying 250-300 euros/month (and that’s a rather small vehicle) for renting a vehicle gives me stomach aches.

For that, you get a new ID3, which is no small vehicle inside. Fully family-suitable. Maintenance included. What more could you want?

That is actually always a completely normal dealer behind it. There is nothing shady about it. But I have the feeling that especially towards private customers, the local dealer often makes downright unreasonable offers.

But that is actually counterproductive. You always have to be careful with online offers, of course. All the super great deals often only apply in connection with some catch. However, the "normal" online offers are still often significantly cheaper.

The idea of 250-300 euros/month (and that's a rather small vehicle)

Of course, it depends heavily on the vehicle and mileage. However, the private individual has to "bleed" here.

But you are not up to date anymore.
As a private person, you can lease a microcar starting at 100 EUR and as a business owner (which you will soon be, with photovoltaics) you can get compact cars for 50-60 EUR or even sometimes for zero EUR (thanks to subsidies).

For 250-300 EUR you can get a microcar as a full lease, i.e. including workshop and insurance. You only pay for fuel then.

was faster and even with an example. Is that for private or business?

It says in the screenshot: For private customers only.
