Europe-wide, there are several political initiatives, comparable with the Renewable Energy Law (EEG) in Germany, to support the investments in solar energy. Based on the young stage of development of the branch of photovoltaic, the guaranteed feed compensations are around 30 Eurocent per kilowatt hour. This amount will be generally warranted over a period of 15 to 20 years.
Furthermore, there are several investment programs of single branches for roof conversions, for instance for an asbestos reduction of production halls, to gain more attraction. These programs refer to local, national and even international funds.
Use your opportunities to be state-aided and promote the expansion of the branch of renewable energies in Europe.
The construction of a photovoltaic installation on a flat roof, respectively façade does not require a building permit in Germany. However, exceptions can occur through several circumstances.
In excerpts containing:
- Impacts on the monument protection
- Design regulations
- Statements of the land-use plan
- Distance space or
- Local differing regulations etc.
In any case, being able to realize a free-standing photovoltaic system is requiring a building permit.
Besides the clarification of the building permit, it is necessary to agree on a feed-in regulation with the local power supply company. But before entering into this engagement it will be necessary to validate the closest grid connection points.
