Promotion of photovoltaic consulting and tenant electricity (FKG)

Description

Consultancy and planning services for residential and non-residential buildings on the subject of photovoltaics are subsidised. The consultation goes beyond the mere planning of a photovoltaic system.

The funding amounts to 60 per cent of the consultancy fee and a maximum of EUR 3,000 for buildings with one to two residential units or EUR 9,000 for buildings with three or more residential units or for non-residential buildings. Depending on the applicant's entitlement to deduct input tax, the consultant's gross or net consultancy fee is eligible for funding.

Funding is also available for the installation of the metering and security system required for the implementation of tenant electricity models. Funding is granted for newly installed and existing systems in residential and non-residential buildings or structural facilities in connection with these buildings.

The subsidy amounts to 4,000 euros per newly installed transformer meter or per reconstructed house connection. If no converter meters are installed, the costs for other components of the metering and security system required to implement the tenant electricity concept or direct sales can be subsidised: maximum 80 percent of the eligible investment costs, maximum subsidy amount EUR 6,000 per photovoltaic system.

Prerequisites

All binding information can be found in the directive. Here are the most important points in brief:

The following applies in the Climate Neutral Buildings (FKG) funding programme:

• Funding is only available for buildings within the city limits of the City of Munich.
• The applicant is responsible for the investment costs. This means that all orders, invoices, etc. must be issued to the applicant and paid from their bank account. The funding amount is paid out exclusively to the applicant's bank account.
• The principle of "funding application before order" is mandatory for the application. No contract for the measure may have been awarded yet. An order placed with the executing companies or consultants for the funding measure that is to be applied for prevents FKG funding!
• Among others, building owners and equivalent persons, such as usufructuaries, are eligible to apply. Further information on the group of applicants can be found under "Questions & Answers".
• The application must be submitted exclusively online in the municipal funding portal.

The following also applies to photovoltaic consulting:

• The basic components of a photovoltaic consultation include
  • an inventory of the building situation
  • the development of a concept with the presentation of variants for the dimensioning of the system, technology, cost-effectiveness, funding opportunities, etc., which take into account the requirements and needs of the person operating the system
  • the use of battery storage systems, heat pumps, hot water storage tanks with heating elements, charging stations, etc.

• In addition to these basic modules, other consulting topics in connection with the installation of a photovoltaic system are eligible for funding, for example legal or tax advice, a structural analysis of existing buildings, tenant electricity advice, advice on combining photovoltaics with a green roof (dual use of space), accompanying appointments at homeowner or tenant events, preparation of an energy neighbourhood concept.
• Only consulting services that offer a comprehensive view of the possibilities of energy supply through photovoltaics are subsidised. Several buildings or house numbers that are structurally connected and owned by the same person(s) are therefore regarded as a single unit within the meaning of the FKG and must be advised in their entirety. In such cases, only one consultancy service for the entire unit is therefore subsidised.
