According to German media reports, the German Ministry of Economy intends to abolish subsidies for small-scale solar power generation systems, such as rooftop photovoltaics .
According to a draft law in Germany, " new photovoltaic systems with an installed capacity of no more than 25 kilowatts will be withdrawn from the subsidy mechanism ". According to the draft, with the decrease of installation cost and the high proportion of self-use, small private photovoltaic systems have become economically feasible, so they should be excluded from the scope of public support. A spokesman for the
German Ministry of Economy said that the amendment to the Renewable Energy Law (EEG) is still in the stage of internal preparation and the draft is still being further improved. As for EEG, there is a real need for reform.
Previously, Katerina Reich, the German Federal Minister of Economy, made it clear that new small rooftop photovoltaic systems no longer need subsidies because they are already economically viable for consumers.
It is reported that the current regulation in Germany is that owners who generate electricity on the roof and transmit electricity to the grid can receive subsidies within 20 years according to the fixed feed-in tariff.
Despite the possible adjustment of the subsidy mechanism, the German Ministry of Economy reiterated that the target would remain unchanged-by 2030, the proportion of renewable energy generation in the total national electricity consumption would increase to 80% . According to energy industry data, renewable energy accounted for 58% of Germany's power generation in 2025.
In response, the German Solar Energy Industry Association objected: "If the draft law is implemented in its current form, tens of thousands of jobs in the solar industry (Germany) and the achievement of climate goals will face the same risk."
