*Change of sales tax according to § 12 para. 3 UStG effective from 01.01.2023
Starting January 1, 2023, the government has reduced the value-added tax on the delivery and installation of solar modules from 19% to 0%. This allows you as a private individual to purchase some of our products at a value-added tax rate of 0%.
The legislator has established conditions that must be met for a purchase to be possible at the net price.
Is it your own house where you want to install solar panels and does the system not exceed 30 kW (peak load)? Then you can take advantage of this tax exemption. This VAT rate applies only to the delivery and installation of solar panels on or near your own house. Even if you want to install solar panels on your garden shed, garage, an extension, or a shed, you can benefit from this regulation. If you own a holiday home as a private individual, you can also take advantage of this option. Do you live in an apartment building? Then you can jointly acquire solar panels tax-free with the homeowners' association.
The zero rate applies not only to solar modules but also to the associated cables and other mounting materials for solar modules, as well as to batteries and inverters. For other work, such as roof reinforcement for the installation of solar modules or a heat pump, the VAT rate of 19% applies.
Which products are exempt from this tax?
- Solar panels with aluminum frame
- Storage systems (stationary)
- Inverters
- Batteries
- Installationsmaterial (cables, plugs, mounts for solar modules)

How can I ensure that the system in question meets the above requirements?
We will ask you to confirm at the end of your order that your order meets the specified requirements. If you confirm this, the net price for the eligible items will be calculated.
We create a file that contains the documents required for the tax exemption. Some time after the delivery of the products, you will receive an email in which a series of questions must be answered and photos of the installation must be added.
Please note: 0% VAT on solar modules/installations applies only in Germany.
Should the legislation make changes or tighten regulations that contradict the aforementioned requirements and conditions, we reserve the right to reclaim the value-added tax on purchases that were previously made tax-free.
