State and federal funding

North Rhine-Westphalia had a state programme for solar installations, progres.nrw. The state has since discontinued this programme. Since January 2023, the zero VAT rate for private photovoltaic systems has applied nationwide. The technical rules and registration requirement in the Marktstammdatenregister apply uniformly throughout Germany. Details can be found in the basic document Balcony solar systems in Germany.

Tenants' rights

Under § 554 BGB, tenants are entitled to install a plug-in solar device. Landlords may not impose a blanket ban on installation. They may set reasonable conditions, for example concerning the type of mounting.

Registration with the grid operator

The grid operator in Hagen is ENERVIE Vernetzt GmbH. Since Solarpaket I, separate registration with the grid operator is no longer required. The grid operator receives the information automatically through the Marktstammdatenregister.
