Will Germany build a vertically-integrated solar module?
From pv magazine Germany German solar module maker Heckert Solar, PV product distributor Wattkraft and Europe’s largest solar glass manufacturer Intefloat have unveiled a plan to build a vertically-integrated solar module production across several locations in Germany.
What is Germany's solarpaket 1?
Germany’s Solarpaket 1, approved by both the Bundestag and Bundesrat on April 26, , is designed to supercharge solar energy growth nationwide. This legislative package is part of Germany’s broader Renewable Energy Sources Act and responds directly to the ambitious targets set by the government. The ultimate aim?
When will solar package I come into force in Germany?
After being held up for almost a year, the German parliament decided to pass Solar Package I on April 26, – this development includes significant improvements for the solar and storage industry that are expected to come into force soon.
What is Germany's solar Package 1?
Germany is ramping up its solar capabilities thanks to the approved Solarpaket 1 — or Solar Package 1 — legislation that aims to drive higher solar adoption, reduce barriers to installation, and bolster Germany’s renewable energy output. It will also increase feed-in tariffs for commercial and industrial solar projects.
Why did Germany approve the solarpaket 1?
With 384 votes in favor, 79 against, and 200 abstentions, Germany’s parliament approved the Solarpaket 1 in a vote that marked a turning point for Germany. The new regulation will open doors to expand investments in solar, with incentives that make the sector more appealing than ever.
Is solar a good investment for the commercial sector in Germany?
PV usage in the commercial sector has picked up speed in Germany – the enormous potential here had long been untapped as it had not been considered particularly profitable before. In , however, the commercial market experienced 92 percent growth compared to the previous year. Solar Package I aims to encourage this development further.
