Expectations vs. reality
Implemented projects in numbers

Expectation                                Reality

 The tenant power surcharge was intended    In 2020 a total of 1.062 projects were
 to support projects with an accumulated    realized with combined performance of
 performance of 500   MW per year.          21,77 MW, most of them below 10kW.

         Conclusion

              There‘s a huge gap between implemented and potential
              capacity. It shows that owners especially of large
              residential properties are either unwilling or unable to
              fullfill the given requirements.

5 proposals of SOLARIMO                              Draft EEG 2021 (status Sep. 2020)

  1. Eliminate tax risks

                                                       New benchmarks from
  2. Adjust the tenant power surcharge (§23b)          01.01.2021 in ct/kWh: 3.79 up to
                                                       10kW / 3.52 up to 40kW / 2.37 from
                                                       40 kW

  3. Enable "supply chain model" (§21 paragraph 3)              but: electricity tax applies

  4. Combination of systems (§24, §9 paragraph 3)               replaced by new,
                                                                ineffective regulation

  5. Cooperation of grid operators

                                                                                               7
