Favourable electricity strengthens the
German economy
Photovoltaic systems reliably supply cheap electricity for decades. In particular ground-mounted PV systems have the lowest electricity production costs.
Solar parks are the favourites when it comes to electricity prices
Supply photovoltaic systems reliably cheap electricity for decades. In particular, ground-mounted PV systems have the lowest electricity generation costs. That is why the use and production of solar energy is also the Most cost-effective form of climate protection for the federal government, federal states and local authorities to easily achieve their climate protection goals and a resilient electricity supply. The expansion of solar parks is proceeding at a rapid pace, from which both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and local communities are benefiting economically. Increasingly, companies are being supplied directly from ground-mounted PV systems and thus obtain cheap, clean electricity. The Opportunities for municipal or private participation The range of projects in which solar parks are involved has become increasingly diverse and attractive, further increasing social acceptance.
Solar energy strengthens Germany as a business location
Favourable solar power has a positive impact on the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from. With cheap solar power through self-consumption or through Electricity supply contracts (Power Purchase Agreements, PPA) strengthen and improve their market position. In terms of climate protection, solar energy enables companies to achieve their sustainability goals at low cost. Solar energy with battery storage reduces dependence on energy imports and strengthens national energy security in a fail-safe manner. This stabilises our economy in global crises and reduces geopolitical risks. Energy price fluctuations and energy price shocks can be absorbed. Stable energy costs for photovoltaics create long-term planning security.

Solar power strengthens the German economy (only in German)
How the economy benefits from solar power
photovoltaics for the region, SMEs and trade
Instead of in oil and gas importing countries, the Added value through solar energy in this country instead. Thanks to cheap solar power can Produce and strengthen companies more cost-efficiently their competitiveness. Long-term supply contracts (PPAs) for solar power Years of planning security. You can find more information on PPAs and a successful example from practice at read here.
Storage increases the value of solar power. Memory save on grid costs and companies can use be supplied. The ongoing integration of battery storage systems is an important game changer for a successful Energy transition. Storage systems are also useful for companies. In Commercial storage facilities become favourable during periods of peak generation charged. This allows companies to charge the electricity at different times to avoid price peaks. This is why solar energy and Battery storage the new dream couple.
With electricity from solar battery power plants The company Build a suitable industrial electricity price yourself. In summer, the power supply is very favourable and also In winter, the photovoltaic storage systems help with optimisation of electricity consumption (e.g. buffer during price peaks). You can find out more about large battery storage systems in our Fact paper on the topic of storage.
participation creates acceptance
Advantages for local people
There are many different ways in which citizens or their local authorities can participate in solar parks. Which form makes sense in which case depends on the individual situation.
You will find further opportunities for participation here on SonneSammeln. Furthermore, some federal states have also passed their own participation laws. You can find an overview here here.
Allmendingen solar park - Stable yields for the community
Florian Teichmann
Mayor of the municipality of AllmendingenWe need clean, affordable and secure energy to ensure prosperity and employment. The solar park blends in well with the landscape as it is surrounded by woodland and is therefore not perceived as a foreign object from the village. The municipal treasury benefits because we can make good use of the secure income over 20 years.
