Funding/Renewable Energy Sources Act EEG
High returns with clean energy – with state support through the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG)
Solar power systems represent attractive financial assets for both private and commercial investors. This is guaranteed by the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). In accordance with this act, the electricity generated is fed into the public power grid and reimbursed in the form of a fixed feed-in tariff. This is higher than the standard electricity price and is legally assured for 20 years.The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment (in german)
