EEG amendment 2021: Improvements for neighbourhood solutions

In the EEG draft The German government plans to make a number of changes in the rooftop PV segment. According to information from pv magazine, an exemption from trade tax is planned and neighbourhood solutions are to become possible.

BSW-Solar concludes: "The German government urgently needs to make improvements, otherwise we will continue to head at high speed towards a climate protection and electricity generation gap. The compromise bill is far too timid, and at the same time too many important points are postponed. Unacceptable are the planned restrictions on the promotion of new larger solar roofs", explained Carsten Körnig, CEO of BSW-Solar.

For other solar associations, too, the EEG amendment does not go far enough, despite minor improvements:
