HPS system - picea as a source of electricity and heat?

Option 3: The photovoltaic system is registered simply as a surplus system and the heating remains a private matter as with everyone else.

And to emphasize again: The electricity generated from photovoltaics must go through VAT and income tax if it is used privately. BEFORE the H2 device. The energy taken from the H2 system is correspondingly taxed multiple times, thanks to the poor efficiency. This means that, in the end, it can even be more expensive to convert photovoltaic electricity into H2 than to simply buy and convert it from the grid. The amortization of the photovoltaic system is thus pushed down, not improved.

If I am not mistaken, and only 10% (xx%) of the system is assigned to the business, only 10% (xx%) of the VAT is refunded.

I need to pick this up again. If you only assign 30% of the system to the business, then you only get 30% of the paid VAT back from the tax office.

Just because I assign 10% to the company doesn't mean I can get 100% of the VAT refunded.

But all in all, I think it's good if you get the Picea. However, then it is a hobby, as has often been written here. Most likely, it will not pay off financially.

I have to pick this up again. If you allocate only 30% of the system to the business, then you only get 30% of the paid VAT refunded by the tax office.

Don't you have to separate VAT from trade tax? You also get the full VAT back for the photovoltaic system + storage if you feed in at least 10%.

You can choose the allocation freely. Only the minimum usage is 10%. A photovoltaic system is allocated 100% and then you also get the full VAT back - in return, the withdrawals in kind are taxed. If you allocate only 10%, you also only get 10% of the VAT back - the 90% withdrawals in kind are then tax-free because private.

Trade tax has nothing to do with all of this and is a completely different matter.

Hi everyone,

it's a pity that the topic got a bit out of hand in the end. I myself am also interested in a Picea and know all the pros and cons....
I would be interested to know if anyone has gained further experience with the system in the meantime, or if perhaps new forum members can say something about it?

Unfortunately, no experience yet - I am relying on methanology, but they still need a few years.
