Fixed feed-in tariffs for solar systems under the partial feed-in model will now range from €0.0544 ($0.063)/kWh to €0.0770/kWh, while systems operating under the full feed-in model will receive between €0.1024/kWh and €0.1222/kWh.
Feed-in tariffs for newly-commissioned solar systems in Germany were reduced by 1% beginning August 1.
The move follows plans to abolish feed-in tariffs for photovoltaic systems by 2030 as included in the draft Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2027, proposed by German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche, which was approved by the German cabinet last week.
While Germany’s Federal Network Agency is yet to publish the updated tariff rates, German residential energy company 1Komma5°, has calculated small rooftop PV systems with a capacity of up to 10 kW that export only surplus electricity to the grid will now receive a feed-in tariff of €0.0770 ($0.089)/kWh, while systems that feed all generated electricity into the grid will receive €0.1222/kWh.
Support for PV systems with capacities between 10 kW and 40 kW falls to €0.0666/kWh for surplus feed-in and €0.1024/kWh for full feed-in. For systems between 40 kW and 100 kW, the feed-in tariff is now set at €0.0544/kWh for surplus electricity and €0.1024/kWh for full feed-in.
