Photovoltaic system: Costs, saving potential? - Experiences?

I would, however, keep a level head. The Federal Network Agency will not check particularly early when the cap is reached. If it is actually in April or May, the subsidy still applies for 2 months afterwards!

I agree - thank you.

Same question as to the first one regarding the elimination of the feed-in tariff when the cap is reached. His statement is consistent with the first solar technician: it does not affect small systems. Now I am completely confused.

And have you ever asked him how he comes up with such nonsense? According to current legislation, it can be over overnight and then you are left with your system without compensation... One can only hope that something moves in politics - but I think most haven't even realized that it's already 2020.

Where can one find information about the latest Bundestag debates/committee meetings? Or are there dates for upcoming debates? Or when will the specialized committees have the topic Einspeisevergütung back on the table? Or are there currently no upcoming deadlines/dates/other matters?

- I asked both and both insisted that it was so. Whether it was deliberately blurted out or boasted with complete ignorance, neither is very trustworthy...

Economy and Energy/Committee - 16.10.2019 (hib 1127/2019)

Berlin: (hib/PEZ) The Economic Committee has spoken out against immediately removing the cap on solar subsidies. With the votes of CDU/CSU, SPD, AfD and FDP, the members rejected a corresponding bill (19/13517) from the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen parliamentary group in their session on Wednesday. Only the Left party voted for the bill alongside the initiators, which envisages ending the cap on solar system subsidies. The Greens campaigned for their initiative with the argument that the cap could be reached in a few months; the economy and consumers need planning certainty, so now was the time to vote on it. The CDU/CSU stated that the removal of the funding cap was part of the climate package. The bill had become obsolete as the government was on a good path in this matter. The SPD parliamentary group confirmed this. There was planning certainty because it was clearly established that the cap would be abolished unconditionally, said one member of parliament. The AfD parliamentary group described photovoltaics as too expensive and not competitive. They were not against the technology itself, but it had to prove itself on the market, said one member of parliament. The FDP parliamentary group also wants to bring the industry closer to the market and is therefore against removing the subsidy cap. The Left party, on the other hand, said that electricity from coal and nuclear power was heavily subsidized, with hidden costs. Furthermore, the announcement of a climate package alone did not provide planning certainty for companies. Facts must be created. In the "draft law to amend the Renewable Energy Act 2017," the members of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen state that the previous regulation provides that no plants will be subsidized via feed-in tariffs nationwide once an installed capacity of 52,000 megawatts is reached. "The increasing uncertainty and lack of planning for new solar systems even before reaching the cap should be avoided by a timely follow-up regulation under the Renewable Energy Act; however, this has not yet been presented." They advocate lifting the cap on subsidies for solar systems at 52,000 megawatts.

A corresponding passage was also removed from the draft law on the coal phase-out.
