Since 2015, the amount of funding support for the first PV free-field systems has been determined through a pilot bidding process. As a result of the new EEG 2017 (German Renewable Energy Law) that took effect at the beginning of the year, a fundamental switch of the funding to a bidding process has taken place.

Small to medium-sized PV systems with installed power of up to 750 kilowatts continue to be exempt from this regulation. Under the new law, operators of free-field systems in this segment are eligible for a feed-in tariff that is up to 2.5 cents higher than the tariff in the last bidding round (current rate: 8.51 cent per kilowatt hour).

Our turn-key comprehensive, worry-free system solution covers monitoring, grid feed-in management and direct marketing of PV systems in Germany with a capacity of up to 750 kilowatts. All of this is provided at a fixed price of €6,490.

The numerous queries we have received for our system solution in this category in particular highlights the industry’s strong interest. meteocontrol's market-leading position in this segment is demonstrated by its total rank in a market study titled “Global PV Monitoring” that was conducted by GTM Research and SoliChamba Consulting: meteocontrol placed first in the overall international rankings as an independent provider of monitoring systems.

As befits the turn-key system solution, we are now offering two cost-optimized complete control-cabinet solutions for use in data recording and the implementation of the grid feed-in management of your commercial PV system.

The control cabinets are available in two versions:

  - Central data recording and communications with the VCOM monitoring portal

  - Interior and exterior usage for moderate climatic conditions

  - Interface between the grid operator / direct marketer and your system
