Effective climate protection and the implementation of agreed national and international climate targets require a significantly accelerated expansion of renewable energies. According to the German government’s target, the share of renewable energies is expected to increase to 65 percent of electricity consumption by 2030. At the same time, the demand for electricity is likely to increase significantly due to new cross-sector technologies such as electromobility and Power-t-X systems.
Over the past two decades, photovoltaics has developed from an expensive space technology to the most inexpensive and popular form of energy with the highest growth rates and growth potential worldwide. The German Solar Association and its predecessor associations have played a major role in ensuring that it now plays an indispensable key role in achieving climate targets. The solar industry is working together with the German Solar Association to leverage all available PV market potential to the necessary extent and at the necessary pace: From small rooftop systems to large open space systems; from full feed-in to innovative neighborhood and own consumption concepts.
With this goal in mind, the German Solar Association enters into dialogue with political decision-makers, business representatives, the media and the public. In close exchange with its members, it develops positions on concrete legislative initiatives, standardization processes and current issues of energy policy in order to ensure attractive investment conditions and to remove market barriers with united efforts.
The use of solar power is becoming more and more interesting in the big cities. As a result, residents of apartment buildings can finally benefit from cheap solar power. Tenant electricity and neighborhood supply combine consumer demands for cheap and clean energy with new opportunities for the energy and housing industry. By entering into tenant electricity and neighborhood supply solutions, the building services are being modernized, thereby reducing an investment backlog. Entirely new options are opening up, for example, for energy management, recording consumption data, or entering the field of electromobility. Further information on the topic of tenant electricity can be found at sonneteilen (German)
The German Solar Association is committed to the solar industry in Germany and internationally to the development of new business models for solar power. On the one hand, the focus is on the design of suitable legal and administrative framework conditions. At the same time, there is still considerable uncertainty among many market players about the potential but also about how to open up sales and the concrete implementation of such new business models. This concerns questions of financing, plant and metering concepts, the regulatory framework of the energy industry, and the concrete contractual relationships between plant operators, land owners, investors, and electricity consumers.
