Promotion of plug-in solar devices (FKG)
If you are planning to purchase a plug-in solar appliance, you can apply for a subsidy.
Description
Funding is available for the purchase and subsequent installation of plug-in photovoltaic power generation devices (including plug-in solar devices, PV balcony modules or plug-and-play systems) up to an output of 800 watts peak (Wp) per residential unit.
The subsidy rate is EUR 0.40 per Wp, up to 800 Wp per residential unit, up to a maximum of 50 per cent of the eligible investment costs.
Note on "Application before order!"
After submitting your application, you will receive the message "The measure(s) applied for may be commissioned" via the funding portal.

Questions & Answers
plug-in solar devices (also known as balcony power stations or mini PV systems) are small photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into electricity and can be installed by non-professionals.
Simply set up the photovoltaic modules, connect them to the inverter, plug them into the socket and solar energy can be used immediately for the household.
Tenants need the landlord's or landlady's permission to install balcony power plants on railings or facades, while flat owners must obtain the consent of the homeowners' association.
The operator must register with the grid operator and the market master data register themselves.
The application authorisation applies to private individuals who have their main or secondary residence in the city of Munich.
The applicant must be resident in the residential unit in which the appliance is installed and connected to the household grid.
investment costs include the purchase price of the appliance and the costs for installation and fixing.
Depending on whether the person receiving the subsidy is entitled to deduct input tax, the gross or net costs apply. If VAT is shown on the invoice, it is included in the eligible costs.
no, we do not need your consent from the landlord or the condominium.
After submitting the application, the applicant receives the message "The measure(s) applied for may be commissioned" via the funding portal.
The device may only be purchased and installed once this message has been received. The device must be put into operation and the documents (proof of use) uploaded within one year.
It is not possible to extend the term of the application. In the case of joint applications for the "plug-in solar devices" and "photovoltaic systems" measures, a period of three years applies.
Yes, if the storage unit was purchased together with the balcony power station, the costs for the storage unit are included in the eligible costs. A maximum of 50 per cent of the eligible costs are subsidised.
The inverter of a balcony system may have a maximum output of 800 watts, which means that the system can feed in a maximum of 800 watts.
The subsidy rate relates to the output of the modules. A maximum output of 800 W is subsidised.
Moving within the city of Munich is not detrimental, the appliance can be taken with you.
If the appliance remains in the flat and is sold to the next tenant, the next tenant is obliged to continue operating the appliance.
Moving out of the city area is detrimental and will result in a pro rata reclaim of the subsidy amount. You are obliged to report this to us!
