In BW, the funding program for "grid-supportive storage systems" is being relaunched. I have just read through the funding conditions for the old program a bit and have a question about it. I had already started a thread in the subforum for construction costs/funding, but no one responded and the question is rather technical.
The funding conditions state the following:
The maximum power output of the photovoltaic system at the grid connection point is a) for photovoltaic systems with up to 30 kWp power 50 percent, b) for photovoltaic systems with more than 30 kWp power 60 percent of the installed power of the photovoltaic system. The obligation for power limitation exists permanently for the entire lifetime of the photovoltaic system, but at least for 20 years [...]. Photovoltaic systems [...] equipped with technical devices that fulfill the obligation according to § 9 paragraph 1 sentence 1 no. 1 or § 9 paragraph 1 sentence 2 no. 1 Renewable Energy Act (remote-controlled reduction of feed-in power by grid operators in case of grid overload) are exempt from the active power limitation [...]
That does not sound very economical to me. For a one-time payment of around €1000, I am only allowed to feed in half of the nominal power. Especially in summer, the yield is quite high and a base load in the house of several kW without air conditioning is rather unlikely. The battery is probably also fully charged from late morning.
The way out would be that the grid operator controls the feed-in reduction. How often does this happen, and is the feed-in reduction capability a standard component in inverters?
