German state supports balcony solar power generation via rebate program
From pv magazine Germany
The German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has earmarked €10 million to support the deployment of solar modules with a power of up to 600 W on balconies, terraces, and facades.
Under the program, each household is entitled to receive a rebate of up to €500 ($496).
“The small systems with an output of up to 600 W that we want to support do not require approval, they only have to be registered with the energy supplier,” the government said in a statement. “This can quickly bring savings when electricity prices rise.”
According to estimates by the North Rhine-Westphalia consumer association (VZ NRW), in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a balcony module, with an upfront investment of €350 to €500, can provide electricity with a current value of €54 per year. The payback period ranges from six to nine years. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the electricity is used entirely by the user.

They won’t save any money because the utility company will increase per kwh to make up the loss in revenue. At least that’s how it works in the US.
Cool, I wonder how much local residents will take advantage of this program and support the transition to alternative energy sources.
Last month I went to visit my relatives in Germany, and they installed a small station in their house that monitors and controls the solar panels on the roof. They are very happy, so they get some kind of privileges for using solar panels.
We have to focus on steam generation as well as houses and above 150 degree temperature of hot water to run commercial boilers for chemical industry and textile .
Please publish any info you have for steam generation through solar and also educational courses for solar technology . We are also looking for high temperature generation resources from solar to run turbines for production of electricity.
