The Bewag solar exchange

 

 

With the solar electric power exchange we support the market introduction and the further development of photovoltaics. Photovoltaic is the direct conversion of solar energy into electric power by solar cell technology.

In line with the principle of an electric power exchange the cheapest plants are chosen and supported.

Bewag gives an investment subsidy of up to 50% of the costs for the plant (not more than 7.250 DM/kWp). In addition a cost oriented price for solar power supplied into the electrical grid is guaranteed over 15 years (not more than 0.81 DM/kWh). This makes up for about 50% of the initial costs for the system.

 


Exchange Dates
1 to 5 kWp March, June, September and December
over 5 to 30 kWp June and December
