Economic efficiency of photovoltaic installations

** Please note that to date, this information is based on the situation in Germany and we can only offer the calculation service for solar power plants installed in Germany.

There has already been a lot of talk about the economic efficiency of our solar power plants. But how economic are they really?

Below we have issued in PDF two socalled cash flow progression. There you can recognise the money flow which is to be expected over the first twenty years of the lifetime of the powerplant, before taxes.  As a prerequisite we suppose a solar power plant with a performance of 6,24 kWp and best German quality, further we suppose that either 1. the financing is effected to 100 % over the KfW **(German Development Loan Corporation) or 2. you fully invest your own funds. Operational costs (i.e. Insurance of the installation**) are being taken into account.

Besides the "Renewable Energy Program" of the KfW there are indefinite possibilities to finance your solar power plant. We would be please to put them together for your individual requirements. **

The shown results are not tax relevant. They give no indication as to your taxable win or loss. That would solely depend on your personal tax situation, as you are probably not only a power producer but also have other income to take into account. Therefore we cannot make any statements in that respect.  The results show the amount and the interest of the funds used resp. of the loans used within the amortization term as well as its duration.

With a little effort income tax reductions can be reached within the first two or three years. Please ask your tax consultant. Since January 2009 a  declining balance depreciation is again possible with up to 12.5 % p.a. **

Should there be a change of year between the order and the construction of the installation, the range of profit may be quite substancial **.
