2 Germany is highly dependent on fossil fuel imports... Source: energytransition.de

4 Why to choose renewables? unlimited energy supply are domestic energy sources are the only truly sustainable option mitigate climate change become increasingly competitive increase the domestic and regional added value create thousands of new jobs Image: BSW-Solar

5 Germany's Plan: Switching from fossil to renewable energy Source: energytransition.de

6 Why solar? Well... 6

9 Strongest segment: rooftop system In Germany, the focus has always been on rooftop systems Aplicable for all types of roofs May be combined with other technologies for energy production (e.g. solar thermal) Quick creation of many jobs in the installation sector, fast market development Very sustainable market segment Source: Solvis Source: Schneider

11 Building Integrated PV - Production of solar electricity using the building envelope - PV replaces other parts of the buildings (roof, tiles or facade etc.) - Architectural element to increase shading / climatization - Very aesthetical but more costly solution - Less specialised architects and compliance with construction and electrical norms may be a challenge - BIPV may be used to refurbish listed buildings Image: Colt International 11

13 Ground-mounted systems Multi-MW production of solar electricty (solar power plants) Allows to scale fast and reduce the cost of PV significantly Makes use of otherwise unused, esp. arid areas / conversion areas Relatively simple installation and very little maintance needed Acceptance of general public can be ensured, if local communities benefit Source: Aleo Solar 13

15 Principles for grid-connected PV in Germany Priority connection for all PV systems granted Each solar kwh must be purchased by the utility and remunerated Fixed feed-in tariff payment over 20 years Solar power system operators can additionally reduce their on-site consumption Source: BSW-Solar

16 Feed-in tariff system and rates in Germany The feed-in tariff rates have been subject to constant change in Germany to adapt them to market development Currently the market is suffering from harsh cuts A new revision of the Renewable Energy Law is being negotiated at the moment rooftop groundmounted Size in kwp tariff (Cent/ kwh) power remun erated up to 10 13,28 100% 10 up to 40 12,6 90% 40 up to up to ,23 90% 9,19 100% up to ,19 100%

18 Solar power production in Germany Source: BSW-Solar

19 Solar power delivers significant amounts of energy Solar power production record in Germany occurred on July 21, GW of solar capacity were feeding to the grid, 214 solar GWh were produced up to 40% of power demand - covered from solar PV Source: SMA Solar Technology

20 Solar market development and competition are driving costs down Source: energytransition.de

21 Challenges ahead: changing the energy supply structure flexible backup instead of baseload Source: energytransition.de

22 Conclusion Long history of solar market and technology development in Germany created strong industry base German companies offer a wealth of experience German companies are leading when it comes to technology and engineering Solar PV is long-term investment, quality considerations should be top priority
