Description

The promotional loan "Living with the Future: Photovoltaics" enables private individuals in Baden-Württemberg to equip their owner-occupied residential property with a photovoltaic system including an optional battery storage. The program's goal is to increase the share of renewable energies in the building stock and reduce CO₂ emissions. In addition to the technical components, planning, project design, and necessary construction measures are also financed. The low-interest loan can be combined with the EEG feed-in tariff, thus supporting an economically viable implementation. With a loan amount starting at €5,000 and terms of up to 30 years, the offer is aimed at property owners who wish to invest sustainably in climate and resource protection.

A prerequisite for approval is residence in Baden-Württemberg as well as owner-occupation of at least one residential unit. The applicants provide the equity financing for the system, and installation must be carried out by a qualified specialist company. Eligible for funding are PV systems up to 30 kWp, battery storage, mounting, connection, metering equipment, and wall boxes. Excluded are systems on multi-family houses with more than three units, holiday or secondary residences, as well as standalone fossil fuel boilers from 2025 onwards.
