1 Energy Solar Power in Germany A success story - due to a stable legal framework Jakarta 30. April 2012 Jan Knaack Project Manager German Solar Industry Association

2 German Solar Industry Association 2 TASK VISION ACTIVITIES EXPERIENCE MEMBERS HEADQUARTERS To represent the German solar industry in the solar thermal and photovoltaic sector A global sustainable energy supply provided by solar (renewable) energy Lobbying, political advice, public relations, market observation, standardization Active in the solar energy sector since more than 30 years More than 900 solar producers, suppliers, wholesalers, installers and other companies active in the solar business Berlin

3 Why renewable energies in Germany 3 since: We are highly dependent on energy imports (security of supply) Fossil & nuclear resources are finite (but demand is growing) Climate change requires us to act urgently Diagrams: AEE / Sources: BMU, BMWI Create an new industry and thousands of jobs 28/10/2009

6 Our future is a mix of all renewable energies, but there are certain challenges: How to create widespread understanding and support among society and political and economic decision makers for RES? How to develop new knowledge and skills, adapt the education systems and spread this knowledge? How to finance the investments as long as RES often require higher up-front investments than fossil and nuclear energy? How to adapt the energy supply system from a centralized to a distributed generation system? 6 Source: BMU, Daten EE, Juni 2007 What was Germany s solution for these challenges? Creation of a stable framework to incentivise the investements in renewable energies by introducing a technology specific Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) Source: Solarwatt

7 Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) in Germany: Basic principles 7 Priority connection for all PV systems granted Each solar kwh must be purchased by the utility Fixed feed-in tariff payment over 20 years Reduction of the feed-in tariff each year by a certain percentage (in the past 9%) for newly installed PV systems (Degression) Feed-in tariffs are no state subsidy, costs are redistributed to the rate payer Government Provides for grid access, sets FIT Feed-in tariff RES-E Producer renewable electricity Utility Regulation / Law conventional electricity Electricity consumer Money Power Electricity rates + FIT surcharge 21/03/2011

16 German companies can rely on an excellent R&D-infrastructure German PV companies closely cooperate with research institutes and heavily invest in R&D More than 50 state-of-the-art research institutes as well as university faculties researching in PV 1 billion investments in PV R&D are planned by the industry through German patents in solar technologies registered in 2010

17 Renewable energies have created thousands of high quality jobs 17 Job creation in all Renewable energies Job creation in PV Souce: Berger / Prognos 2010

18 Could solar applications and engineering from Germany be the right thing for Indonesia? Customized Hybrid Energy Supply for remote Mountain Huts Elektro-Mechanik Meisl GmbH H. Deubler Power supply for a farmstead in Poland, 12 kwp Energiebau Solarstromsysteme GmbH

19 Solar applications from Germany work in other areas of the world.. 19 Steca hospital electrification, Nigeria Steca Elektronik GmbH Hybrid system, India Steca Elektronik GmbH

20 ..., so they could work very well in Indonesia, too! 20 PV-Hybrid-Island-Grid Napuka, French Polynesia Elektro-Mechanik Meisl GmbH

21 What can German companies offer you? 21 Solutions to provide and manage your electricity grid reliably with electric energy from solar PV and / or hybrid sources! Quality products that are designed for a long life time at very low maintainance costs that undergo some of the strictest testing requirements in the world! Knowledge and a lot of experience around marketing, sales, installation and maintainance! Experience in qualifying and training your staff! Not only state-of-the art but also innovative and reliable technology with long warranties! In Germany companies work now on restructuring the electricity grid to decentralized solutions benefit from these experience! Often 20 or more years of experience with grid connected or off-grid solar applications!

22 Conclusions 22 Germany has more than 25 GW of PV installed, producing around 4 % of electricity demand, showing that high amounts of fluctuating renewable electricity can be integrated into the grid! FITs in Germany and in other countries have driven down the market price for solar PV, making PV attractive to more and more countries creating thousands of jobs! The German industry is working now actively on finding alternative solutions to better use decentral PV electricity. The global photovoltaic market potential is huge but PV markets only evolve, if they are developed systematically as PV is a long term investment therefore drive policy makers to set appropriate framework conditions. It took Germany more than 20 years to build up knowledge and experience benefit from this experience!
