SolarEdge supports the solar initiative Munich Grasbrunn b. Munchen verschatteter roof PV installations in the subsequent optimization, 11.06.2013. The SolarEdge technologies GmbH, the effectiveness of the SolarEdge Leistungsoptimierer Grasbrunn demonstrated on the example of the House roof system of the family star from Munich laim. SolarEdge and the urban solar initiative Munich (SIM) have the pseudoreference PV installation with SolarEdge Leistungsoptimierern and a SolarEdge inverter retrofitted. The optimization performed in April 2013 the energy yield improved subsequently by 30 percent, as first yield measurements demonstrate. The PV system installed in December 2011 on the Dreifamilienhaus of family star had generated far less power than originally planned.
So the responsible planners had taken into account the shading by the existing dormer at the arrangement of the modules nor the connection of strings and the inverter concept. The resulting problem: At any time the performance of the strings broke, as the Shadow of the roof edge from one module to the next emigrated. The leistungsschwachste module determines the performance of the entire string in a string. Optimize performance and fire protection by SolarEdge technology SolarEdge Leistungsoptimierer and monitor the energy output of each individual module. Prevent the Leistungsoptimierer, that pseudoreference modules that affect performance not verschatteter modules and reduce so the total yield of the PV system. With module-exact monitoring and additional security features by SolarEdge, even potential fire risks can be excluded safely. Because the task of the SIM, to provide Munich, as first metropolis to 2025 with only clean energy, we see as neutral consultants in terms of PV”still great potential for further joint projects under the expert leadership of the solar initiative, says Joachim Nell, General Manager Central Europe at SolarEdge. Solar Initiative Munich analyzed the SIM specializing in difficult urban roofs underperforming PV systems analyzes the causes of low-yield plants in Munich and develops solutions to eliminate the problems with minimum effort. I am pleased that we could help the family star together in the future to generate 30 percent more yield with its own roof”, says Harald Will, Managing Director of Munich’s solar initiative.

Why a solar store could be worth with rising electricity costs growing interest in solar save. More and more system owners rightly ask why they do not introduce cheap solar energy, but use expensive electricity from the utility. A higher consumption is a simple solution to reduce electricity costs by up to 70 percent. The remaining kilowatt hours for the legally guaranteed feed-in tariff as usual. Worth the solar energy storage for you? See also the current feed-in tariff: current eeg-einspeiseverguetung / solar store get more out of your home resort for everyone who new buys a PV system is a high own consumption is interesting.
You can reach the internal consumption in two ways. Connect all energy-intensive household appliances through the middle of the day or time-independent wash with PV solar store, Cook and dry. You can increase the consumption up to 70 percent. Accordingly, the shared sinks Energy from the provider on about one-third. Another plus: the enormous saving of cost of electricity also improves the yield of a PV system.
But also the general public benefits: the electricity networks are relieved, guarantees security of supply and the expansion of networks will be less urgent. See also the ever energy power station: the PV solar storage tank lower electrical costs normally supplies a five kilowatt peak plant a family with sufficient energy. So far, most plant owners fully feed their solar power into the grid and operate their devices with normal”electricity from the wall socket. Therefore, while get the full feed-in tariff, pay and 100 percent of your regular electricity bill. Now this Bill no longer goes on. The feed-in tariff stays the same while the price for a kilowatt hour electricity is steadily increasing. So, from an economic perspective, it makes sense to use the own solar power. A solar storage allows each Photovoltaikbesitzer, the electricity costs by up to two-thirds to reduce.

Solar grants, reduction of solar promotion the controversy over the promotion of solar now has an end. Since last week the cuts are retroactive to April 1, 2012. The Government insists the one-off reduction of the feed-in tariffs by 20 to 30 percent. As a result small plants receive performance with less than ten kilowatt peak compensation of 19.5 cents per kilowatt hour. 16.5 cents previously planned. The new roof systems class of ten to 40 kilowatt peak is rewarded, however, with 18.5 cents. Their owners get but not the complete solar funding. You need to sell 10 percent of the solar current or consume themselves.
In addition a monthly reduction of the feed-in tariff to a percent each. Who’s going to end July with a small plant to the grid, sold a kilowatt hour of solar power for 18,92 cents. Owner of a medium-sized roof system to 40 kilowatt peak achieve yet 17.95 cents. Reduction of solar promotion: equipment worth off only with storage media November 1 the breathing cover comes to fruition. This depends on the annual figures of the previous quarter off. To install until then more than 7.5 gigawatts, the compensation to more than 29 percent reduced.
“Dominik Modrach, Managing Director of the ever energy group, assessed the results as follows: we are glad that the wait is finally over and the roof installations now but more promoted by private people, than they had initially planned.” However a great uncertainty among consumers have built up in the meantime. With the current solar funding worth continues to build a plant. However, we recommend also to think about solar storage.” So far, there were barely affordable models, which are suitable for private use. It is important to ensure investment in quality and longevity. Since this year, we use Solon storage,”says Dominik Modrach. So our customers can consume up to a third of their own produced current.” Thus, plant owners would reduce the own electric bill and at the same time relieve the networks.

KfW credit and repayment grant – what brings the KfW promotion for solar storage? Solar storage should be encouraged nationally as of May 1, 2013. Besides a favourable KfW credit there is a repayment grant from the Ministry. The cash injection will only be granted when you combine the battery storage system with a photovoltaic system, which has gone from 1 January 2013 at the network. Now it is clear: the program is currently on hold, and so far it is not known when it actually starts. Although the information sheet on the KfW promotion for solar storage tank are already circulating, the program according to the media reports should be frozen temporarily. The reason: The solar storage tank promotion is disputed with revenue from the Emmisionshandel.
However, these funds are falling, why is currently no information on the official launch date and Status quo. Previous information according to the data sheet of the KfW support: who buys a solar storage from 1 may 2013 and consumed more its own solar energy, will be rewarded twice: you can up to two-thirds of electricity costs save up and get also state subsidy. Good to know: A and O is also for future applications the deadline. The application before the building of the Bank should be made for a new installation. This is however only possible from 1 may 2013. Who is gearing for a solar store, receives funding only if the photovoltaic system at the earliest but at least six months before the memory, the network went on 1 January 2013 -.
A cheaper loan, granted by the Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau, KfW promotion for solar storage in the sponsorship package is hiding. This can cover the entire purchase amount and is possible with different maturities. Memory support: the repayment subsidy, in addition is planned a repayment subsidy only for storage.

She has been commissioned to support the further expansion of renewable energies. The first part of the report devoted to wind energy.
A net electricity production of 72.2 terawatt-hours of solar energy could be covered about half of the electricity demand in North Rhine-Westphalia. An impressive number. The study of the North Rhine-Westphalia state environment Office however also shows that currently only 3 percent of the technical Solar energy potential is used. Here are still significant opportunities to expand. The REW SOLAR AG will see more on the subject available.
REW SOLAR AG is a potential for the development of solar energy available in North Rhine-Westphalia is solar energy in third place of power-producing renewable energies behind wind power and biomass. Very, the proportion of solar energy at alternative power generation has increased in recent years. End of 1999 there were approximately 3,000 solar power plants, which together peak (MWP) reached a capacity of not more than 13 megawatts in North Rhine-Westphalia. 2011, the situation looked much better: more than 160,000 plants ate up almost 2,900 MWP in the power grid. The REW SOLAR AG hopes that the existing potentials are used to spread solar energy even further. The current study on renewable energies and is an important step for the further development of solar energy as a power supplier. It is a base work, all current facts and figures for all municipalities and districts North Rhine-Westphalia holds. Untapped potential is also apparent, welcomes the REW SOLAR AG the contents of the report.
