Only with regard to profitability calculations over the 20-year period. And there, the rental option is often 2-3 times as expensive as the purchase option.What do you think about the rental option, e.g. Enpal photovoltaic systems, does anyone have any experience?
Manufacturers of what? You have to differentiate BAFA = subsidy and KFW = loan with repayment subsidy. And apart from that, every bank is strict. Do you think a "normal" bank gives you money and just leaves you alone? In case of doubt, you also have to submit every invoice, checked by the architect or renovation advisor. With KfW it is even easier than with a bank. The energy consultant confirms to the KfW that the measure was implemented as planned. You do not submit invoices (unless you get a random check).That is the point: Isn't it true that only certain manufacturers are on the Bafa list, which are mostly more expensive and not available. Moreover, I would have to prove every step with an invoice, or isn't it that strict?

That is correct for Bafa – but applies exclusively to heat pumps. By the way, the list of heat pumps is 200 pages long (estimated 8,000 to 9,000 models). Everyone will find a suitable heat pump, with every current heat pump also being eligible for funding. There are no requirements at KfW.I had researched that Bafa only accepts certain manufacturers, e.g. heat pumps
I would put it differently: Definitely get an energy consultant on board. Because they know all funding options and can tell you which programs are the most useful. Why forego funding? And if you eventually achieve an efficiency house XY, you can look forward to a lot of money. P.S. It’s not only the heat pump with underfloor heating itself that is eligible for funding. The following are also funded: - Floor coverings including removing and disposing of screed - Impact sound insulation / insulation - Underfloor heating - New screed - Electrical work for ERR - New parquet flooring etc. For renovation to an Efficiency House 40EE, there is a generous 50% repayment subsidy. For a loan of €150,000 (which you get for one housing unit at most), you receive €75,000 in gifted funding.So definitely get KfW on board for the renovation?
That is correct with Bafa - but applies exclusively to heat pumps (HPs). By the way, the list of HPs is 200 pages long (estimated 8,000 to 9,000 models). Everyone can find a suitable HP there, whereby every current HP should also be eligible for funding. There are no requirements at KfW.

P.S. It’s not just the pure HP with underfloor heating that is funded. The following are also funded:
- Floor coverings along with screed removal + disposal
- Impact sound insulation / insulation
- Underfloor heating
- New screed
- Electrical work for ERR
- New parquet flooring
etc.
When renovating to an Efficiency House 40EE, there is a hefty 50% repayment subsidy. For a loan of €150,000 (which you get at most for one housing unit), you get €75,000 in gifted funding.
So the old place won't become an efficiency house 40EE :) Is something possible with the old building as well, are there still efficiency house 55, etc.? Is that also supported like this?
