Expert assessment: 80 days for the grid operator’s assessment – what’s holding up PV projects

An analysis by GFK Solar shows that grid operators take a median of 80 days to review the registration data for new PV installations; the range extends from 1 day to almost 1 year. VREY chief Julius Pahmeier cites IT systems, a lack of standards and insufficient capacity as the causes, and calls for digitised, standardised procedures.

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.
