Expert assessment: The cost-effectiveness of photovoltaic systems on blocks of flats

From 2027, the feed-in tariff for new solar installations is set to be abolished. VREY founder Julius Pahmeier emphasises that PV on smaller blocks of flats with high self-consumption remains profitable: revenue shortfalls often amount to €120–400 per year, cash flows are €5,000–6,000 per year, and the payback period is approximately 10 years.

ALTAROC ANALYSIS: Private Equity – Sector Rotation Instead of Broad Market Weakness

Altaroc analyzes the private equity environment in the 1st half of 2026: US software is weakening, capital is rotating in energy, among other things; Europe (especially large caps) and Asia are rising. Valuation gap to stock exchanges is widening. Exits, IPOs and secondaries are stimulating liquidity, while distributions remain scarce.
