Promotion for photovoltaic systems 2025: All important information!

On January 7, 2025, a decisive step towards renewable energies will be taken in Carinthia if the new funding applications for photovoltaic systems (PV systems) are activated online at 10:00 a.m. According to the information from orf.at , all applications that were submitted by October 1, 2024 are automatically processed without a new submission. Owners of PV systems that were completed in 2023 or 2024 can retrospectively apply for funding by the end of February 2025, which provides for old, higher funding rates of 480 euros per kilowatt-peak. However, more recent applications have to expect lower funding rates, which makes the time deadlines all the more important.

The digital processing of the funding promises faster payment and simpler application, whereby the country is relying on ID Austria to accelerate the process. In addition to Carinthia, the use of PV systems is also strongly promoted in Baden-Württemberg. As Finanztip.de , the city of Freiburg offers various funding opportunities that include up to 1,500 euros per kilowatt-peak for battery storage and larger PV systems. In Mannheim, up to 3,750 euros can be achieved for special projects, which include green roofs, for example.

funding landscape in Baden-Württemberg

The cities of Stuttgart and Heidelberg also offer attractive financial support: in Stuttgart, for example, the subsidy for installation costs is up to 450 euros per kilowatt peak. This makes the switch to renewable energies in the region particularly appealing. In addition, special bonuses are awarded for innovative projects that are implemented on listed buildings. Even if the city of Tübingen currently does not offer funding, Baden-Württemberg remains a pioneer in solar funding, with a variety of programs that strengthen both new buildings and existing systems.
