Is a solar system still worthwhile? How many years does it take to start benefiting from it?

Hi Richard, it can also be worthwhile for companies, for example if the company otherwise makes good profits and is looking for an opportunity to invest, even if it results in a loss. Because through the possibility of loss deduction, you can save and recover a lot of money on taxes here. Because if you exceed a certain threshold with the profits, the tax burden automatically increases, so a loss in one area can still be a gain overall :)

I also believe that solar time is not over yet. Solar energy is suitable for companies as well as private individuals. As my predecessor already suggests, companies can reduce their tax burden. This is also a matter of mindset.

Hello,

of course, I am thinking about a house where maybe such a solar system is supposed to be installed. But I am very unsettled by politics, because things are constantly changing there. Who knows who will be in power in four years and then do everything differently again. You could see that with the nuclear power plants. For half a year, the extension of the operating times was the law and then a complete shutdown. If someone had or maybe even did invest during that half year, they really got the short end of the stick. :) Even though I am in favor of the energy transition and also for the environment, I have to be able to afford such things.

If your primary concern is really the economic aspect, I would be more cautious with such a long-term investment. You yourself write that you are no longer twenty and such a system takes a very long time to pay off. In that case, the perhaps manageable costs for an energy supplier might be the better choice. As I said, if it is only about money and no environmental consideration plays a role.

What Hans says is one of the main problems, it can't be that politics does whatever it wants. When I see the back and forth in Bayern again now, do they even know what they want? Either I, as a politician, create the necessary basic conditions, which also includes support and planning for investors, or I have to change my profession, then they should just become gatekeepers:cool:

The thing is good and that is also the reason why many are unsettled. They are planning major energy transitions, but in practice they leave consumers out in the rain. So nothing new on the front.
