Produce your own clean energy
Both your own energy consumption and local conditions determine how much electricity you yourself can consume. For example, a family of four with a 5-kW system can generate about 30 percent of its electricity needs. The excess solar electricity is fed into the grid.
The feed-in tariff for the electricity consumed by the respective household is lower than for the electricity fed into the grid. However, the feed-in tariff is interesting as the energy costs saved by generating your own electricity also have to be taken into account.
The EEG in Germany was created in order to vigorously promote the development of renewable energies for electricity generation as a central element for climate protection, environmental protection and sustainable development, and also to increase the proportion of renewable energies. The aim is to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.
The law first entered into force in 2000. An EU comparison reveals that it has been a particularly efficient tool for developing renewable energies and it has now been adopted by many other countries as a model for their own subsidy programmes.
