Support measures in Austria

NOTES

1. The feed-in tariff is attributed only if the competent Austrian Region is willing to co-finance it for 50%. A budget of 2.1 M€ per year limits the attribution of the FiT. Currently the waiting queue is

full until 2014 and the Austrian Government is evaluating a possible increase of the budget.

2. The Austrian Government is currently re-evaluating the support scheme.

NOTES

1. A green certificate is assigned for each MWh produced by PV and has a fixed price of 330 €. For all Regions, there is a green certificate purchase guarantee at national level of 15 c€/kWh

during 10 years. On Friday Dec. 10th 2010 , the Flemish government approved the above table for the decrease of green certificate prices for PV. This is part of a proposal of a new decree,

which still has to be approved in the Flemish parliament (due probably Jan. 2011)

2. Above the revenues of green certificates, the electricity can be consumed by the producer or sold to an electricity supplier.

3. For systems starting Operation after January 1st 2013, the Green Certificates will be assigned for the following 15 years instead of 20 years.

1. Feed-in tariffs will be applicable for PV systems smaller than 100 kWp installed on buildings. Call for tenders will be set up (from summer 2011) for PV systems on buildings larger than 100 kWp and for ground mounted systems, The yearly target of installations for tender based PV systems is 300-350 MWp.

2. The FiTs are adjusted quarterly based on the market size in the previous quarter. FiT adjustments are defined independently for the 2 segments defined as: a) Residential BIPV; b) Education & Health and Other BIPV + Simplified BIPV. For these 2 segments the yearly target of installations is 100 MWp each.

Fiscal Incentives From 2011

Tax credit for residential customers for investments related to renewables and energy efficiency on their main

residence. Residential customers get a tax credit of 22% of the material costs (not on the installation costs).

The maximum tax credit amount cannot exceed 8000 € for a single person and 16000 € for a couple during

the period 2005 to 2012. The tax credit mechanism has been extended to the owner-landlord of an

accommodation (more than 2 years-old) and if rented as main residence during at least 5 years to an external

member of the (fiscal) family. The tax credit is limited to PV systems below 3 kWp in order to be cumulative

with the FIT.

VAT Reduction From 2011Reduced VAT rate from 19.6% to 5,5% on material and installation cost for residential customer if the dwelling

is more than 2-years old and the PV system size is lower than 3 kWp (residential sector).

Feed-in tariff in Germany

NOTES

1. For rooftop installations above 30kW, the FiT is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the installed capacity. For a 50 kWp system, for instance, the first 30 kWp are granted the highest

tariff, the next 20 the lower tariff.

2. Systems on agricultural land that did not prove a land development plan before 25/03/2010 will be not eligible for a FiT anymore.

3. Commercial areas also include areas near traffic routes and on construction sites

4. BSW-Solar and the German BMU agreed to anticipate part of the tariff degression originally foreseen for January 2012 by applying an anticipated reduction of the FiT tariffs on July 1st, 2011,

based on a forecast of the 2011 market. For ground-mounted installations, the reduction will take effect on 1 September 2011. An additional reduction will be applied as of January 1st 2012.

5. Annual market size calculated on installed PV Power from March to May 2011

Other direct incentives in Germany

NOTES

1. The tariffs shown here do not include the benefit of saving money on the electricity bill (related to auto-consumption)

2. The more electricity generated is directly consumed; the higher the remuneration (the threshold value is 30% of auto-consumption). The net benefit related to auto-consumption of PV electricity

is 0.0362 €/kWh when <30% of the electricity produced is directly consumed. When >30% is auto-consumed; the net benefit over the normal FiT is 0.08 €/kWh. This takes into account the

money that is saved on the electricity bill (which is about 0.2 €/kWh).

Energy sale on the

electricity market From 2009

PV operators may sell (entirely or partially) the electricity generated in the installation to third

parties on a calendar-monthly basis (direct selling), if they have reported this to the grid system

operator before the start of the previous calendar month. No entitlement to payment of the feed-in

tariff shall exist for that entire calendar month and for the portion of electricity generated in the

installation sold to the third party.

Other support measures in Germany


Fiscal incentives From 2009

Investment costs for commercial systems (incl. Planning and installation) can be depreciated over a 20

year period and other costs can be considered as operations cost. In exceptional cases for some

commercial systems which operate closely to producing or manufacturing facilities 12.5-27.5 % of

investment can be claimed as tax credit.

1. FIT is paid over 20 years. There are bonuses up to 10% on top of the FiT that are provided in the some specific cases. The market cap for the period 2011 -2013 is set to 3,000 MW + 300 MW for innovative BIPV projects, with grace period allowing systems to access the FiT once the cap is reached for further 14 months..PV systems on greenhouses and parking canopies receive a tariff obtained averaging the tariffs assogned to «Building-mounted» and «Other» PV systems.

2. Reserved to “innovative” BIPV systems that utilise special purpose PV modules or elements that integrate or substitute architectural elements of a building as specified by the guidelines published by GSE in December 2010.

3. On March 3rd 2011, the Italian Government launched a decree (pending Parliament approval) that terminates the third Conto Energia on May 31st 2011. PV systems connected after that date will be subject to a revised support framework that will be published before April 30th 2011. The new framework is likely to introduce reduced FiT levels differentiated by system type and location, an annual market cap and a new degression mechanism..

Italy – Other support measures


Direct consumption


Net-metering is available to PV systems up to 200 kWp. “Scambio sl Posto” is based on the balance of

the value of the energy fed into the grid and the value of the expenditures to buy/retire the energy from

the grid. This method can lead to a surplus on behalf of the system operator that will be counted as a

credit, capable to compensate possible future negative balances (credit may be passed to the following

year) or to be converted in cash.

Energy sale on the

electricity marketFrom 2008

The electricity sale is applicable to all the market segments in addition to the incentives granted to the

total electricity production (FIT). The electricity fed into the grid can be commercialized by the

producers either through direct sale on IPEX (Italian Power Exchange) or indirectly through the

“dedicated” electricity intake (“ritiro dedicato”) or, otherwise, through the “on-the-spot trading”.

Fiscal incentives From 2008 A 4% rebate is offered on the real estate tax on buildings that host PV systems

VAT reduction From 2008 VAT on PV equipment and installation costs is reduced from 20% to 10%

Investment grants Form 2010Several calls for tenders and other contributions are available at regional level (for SME and industries)

and provincial level (for the residential segment)

Tariff indexation From 2010

For plants starting operation in 2011, the FiT is adjusted every year from the second

(2013) after the PV plant starts operation. The tariff is updated according to 50% of

the previous year’s Consumer’s Price index.

Investment grants 2011Several investment grants are available at regional level on tender basis for off-grid

PV systems

NOTES

1. Tariffs and caps are adjusted quarterly according to demand in previous quarter: If at least 75% of the cap for the previous quarter is reached, rates decrease 2.5% (or slightly more if the cap

was largely overrun), and the cap is increased by the same amount. Conversely, if less than 50% of the cap is reached, rates increase and caps decrease by the same amount. If between 50

and 75% of the caps are reached, incentive levels and caps remain the same. The annual digression rate is capped in the range of 10%. Annual caps adjust in inverse proportion to digression

(e. g. If rates decrease by 8%, caps will increase by 8%).

Swedish DSOs are obliged to purchase all renewable energy

produced in their area of competence at a price that has to be

negotiated between the parties.


Currently, investment subsidies covering up to 60% of PV system

costs are available from a state sponsored program. The maximum

acceptable system costs are about 220.000 €, while the budget of the
