The advantages of a solar investment in 60 seconds

Whether you are a high-earning employee, self-employed person or entrepreneur, from a certain income your tax burden is around 50% of your income. With a solar investment, you can reduce this tax burden to 0%, legally, sustainably and even generate high long-term profits.

Frequently asked questions about a photovoltaic investment

What are the advantages of a direct photovoltaic investment?

In this video, we explain from the outset how a direct photovoltaic investment is created, what steps need to be taken, what permits need to be obtained and what all needs to be taken into account. We also look specifically at the advantages of such a photovoltaic investment.

It all starts with the roof lease, which is usually combined with a free roof renovation. The roof area is leased for 30-40 years and the right of use is secured by an easement. Once the system has been connected to the grid, it can generate high profits for decades. The German government is also committed to the expansion of renewable energies, which is why it secures your solar investment with a minimum remuneration for the electricity fed into the grid and grants you considerable tax benefits that can even reduce your tax burden to zero. You can find out more about this in the videos on this website.

Is there a legally guaranteed remuneration for solar investments?

Every PV system operator in Germany who wants to buy a photovoltaic system receives state-guaranteed remuneration for their solar investment over 20 years plus the year of commissioning. The state guarantees the purchase of all the electricity produced at the kWh price that applied in the month of commissioning. This is laid down in the Renewable Energy Sources Act, which first came into force in 2000. This law laid a further foundation for the expansion of renewable energies in Germany.

For the operators of a PV system, the law means security, as the electricity is purchased at least at this fixed rate. In addition, the hours of sunshine at each location in Germany can be calculated very precisely for the next 20 years. This means that the minimum yields for a solar investment can also be accurately forecast. Due to the future development of electricity prices, higher profits can be achieved through direct marketing than through the sale of electricity via EEG remuneration. Nevertheless, the EEG remuneration still represents a safeguard when marketing the electricity.

How can I invest in photovoltaics with the greatest possible security?

A photovoltaic investment is possible for almost anyone. The buyer acquires 100% ownership of all components of the system, which is why it is also referred to as a direct photovoltaic investment. To secure the lease agreement over the entire term - even in the event of a change of ownership - the lessor must enter an easement in the land register under Section II in favor of the owner of the system. In the case of PV systems divided into units, the joint system manager should be entered in the land register. The Solar Invest is therefore as secure on the third-party roof area as it is on your own for the entire term.

For optimum all-round protection, the market offers comprehensive insurance concepts including Photovoltaic all-risk insurance (electronics insurance). This covers Natural events such as lightning, storm, fire, moisture, short circuit, cable damage, overvoltage, operating errors, clumsiness, negligence, damage caused by animal bites, theft, vandalism and much more.

Tax consultant Jens Rüggeberg explains the tax benefits of a solar investment

Tax consultant Jens Rüggeberg talks to Solar Direktinvest about his experiences and the tax advantages of a PV investment.

"When I hear a tax consultant say: 'Yes, if you want to earn a lot, you have to pay taxes. - No, they don't have to. That's not the case. You just have to know how the tax system works. It's like a gift of money.

I would say: To each his own PV system. If you understand how it works and you realize what's behind it, then it would be grossly negligent not to do it."

Thanks to the enormous tax advantages and the extraordinary depreciation options, you can reduce your taxable income to such an extent that you can even receive your entire income tax-free with a severance payment. More on the topic: Tax-free severance pay

Tax refund
In the year the system is purchased, you will receive a tax refund from the tax office of approx. 25% of the investment costs, partly through the investment deduction amount (IAB) !

Ongoing high profits
In addition to the tax benefits up front, the PV system is expected to generate a high profit surplus every month during the first 20 years of financing.

Solar annuity
After the PV system has paid for itself during the EEG term of 20 years, you then benefit from a high solar yield over a further term of 10-20 years.

Testimonials from investors who invest in photovoltaics

"We are fully committed to driving forward the expansion of renewable energies in Germany. We need to increase capacities very quickly. The demand for electricity will increase, especially due to the electrification of the transport sector. Having acquired several photovoltaic investments, I would recommend Solar Investments if only to promote further projects. I myself am absolutely convinced of the quality that has been delivered here and therefore I also believe that this will make an excellent contribution to the energy transition in the future."

Dr. Steffen Knepper
Lawyer specializing in renewable energies

"Investing in a photovoltaic system should be an addition to any intelligent portfolio. We consider this to be a very solid long-term building block for the creation of stable assets. We assume that the market has massive growth potential in the future due to the overall political background. Our experience with a solar direct investment is very good. Because the whole concept here is simply based on sustainability and the long term."

Mirko Steffen
Business psychologist and former managing director of an energy supply company

"I have been involved in direct solar investments for many years and the business model is sustainable. I operate several solar plants myself. As far as the yields of a photovoltaic system are concerned, these have actually always been underestimated in the past; I have yet to see a photovoltaic system that has underperformed."

Martin B.

"A photovoltaic system is very attractive from a tax perspective and the cash flow is significantly better than with a property. My system generates a profit every year. With a photovoltaic investment, there is hardly any expense compared to a property, it is low-maintenance and easy to look after."

Environmental and climate protection with a solar investment

Melting poles and rising sea levels. Air pollution and smog in big cities. The decline in biodiversity and devastating natural disasters. These are just a few of the major environmental problems of our time. We believe that it is time to act.

Because the energy transition, as well as environmental protection and sustainability, are important to us. With a newly built Solar Invest, investors have the opportunity to make their own contribution to the energy transition and thus to a greener future. But we go one step further. We are driving forward the expansion of photovoltaics in Germany to ensure that more and more households can be supplied with green and sustainable electricity. By making PV systems completely CO2-neutral after just a few years and not relying on any fossil fuels, tens of thousands of tons of CO2 can be saved every year.

Solar Direktinvest GmbH as a supporter of the Alliance for Development and Climate

But we don't just want to contribute to climate protection with our product. As a supporter of the Alliance for Development and Climate, we ensure that our CO2 consumption is offset. In this way, we support sustainable development and climate goals worldwide to avoid, reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions. Because our goal is to achieve a greener, sustainable future with 100% green electricity from renewable energies through PV investments. For us and our environment.
