Support for home storage: KfW incentive (2016)Newly introduced in March 2016: End-customers can access attractive

financing plus a 25% grant on battery purchase from gov. owned KfW

• The promotion is valid for photovoltaic

systems with less than 30 kWp power,

installed after Dec 2012

• The maximum power output of the PV

system to the grid connection point must

be limited to 50 % of installed peak

capacity (the remaining 50% can be used

for storage)

• The battery storage system must come

with a time value replacement warranty

for a period of 10 years

• The professional and reliable

commissioning must be done by a

certified installer

• The grant for the eradication of the KfW

loan is initially 25% and decreases every

six months each mid and end of year by

3 percentage points until 2018:

01.03.2016 - 30.06.2016 25 %

Solar Invest: Support for storage in ThuringiaIntroduced in November 2016: appealing funding scheme supporting

PV and storage systems for houses and apartment buildings.

• Only for projects realized in Thuringia

• Funding available for:

− Investments in new stationary energy

storage systems (batteries) with the

purpose of storing PV electricity

− Investments in new seasonal energy

storage systems (hot water storage,

cold storage, power-to-heat-systems) or

expansion/upgrade of such systems

• System requirements:

− own-consumption rate of at least 60%

− The battery storage system must come

with a time value replacement

warranty for a period of 8 years

• The grant is allowed for 80% of

expenditures for the storage system, for

services by architects/engineers (max.

10% of manufacturing costs) and for

consulting services

• Maximum amount granted: EUR 100,000

• Promotion not applicable to

manufacturers of battery storage, self-

built systems, pilot projects and used

systems

• Promotion valid until December 2019.

Note: Other investments/activities funded by the program include investments in new PV systems for own-consumption or in apartment buildings; additional investments for PV

systems in apartment buildings (management/ measuring/ control/ accounting systems); consulting services regarding PV systems in apartment buildings or tendering

procedures according to EEG. Source: Thüringer Aufbaubank 2016.
