What is the feed-in tariff in 2024?

The 2024 feed-in tariff supports photovoltaic system owners with fixed remuneration rates for electricity fed into the grid. For small systems up to 10 kWp, the tariff is 8.11 cents/kWh for partial feed-in and 12.87 cents/kWh for full feed-in. Operators can thus benefit from stable revenues, while self-consumption with storage systems additionally increases profitability. DRBO Greenenergy offers practical complete solutions for this.

What rates apply to the 2024 feed-in tariff?

For photovoltaic systems up to 10 kWp, partial feed-in starts at 8.11 cents/kWh from February 2024 and drops to 8.03 cents/kWh from August. Full feed-in starts at 12.87 cents/kWh and also decreases in line with the semi-annual degression. Systems between 10 and 40 kWp receive lower rates, and larger systems up to 100 kWp are adjusted again.

The remuneration is based on the EEG regulations. DRBO Greenenergy recommends taking the remuneration rates into account when planning balcony power plants to optimize profitability. Monthly advance payments and annual re-measurements ensure reliable payment.

How does the degression of the remuneration work?

The degression reduces the feed-in tariff by 1% every six months, starting from February 2024. This system adjusts subsidies to market changes and ensures cost coverage through the EEG surcharge. System operators after January 31, 2024, receive the respective monthly rate fixed for 20 years. DRBO Greenenergy supports this with compatible energy management systems that efficiently manage self-consumption and billing.

What is the difference between partial feed-in and full feed-in?

With partial feed-in, self-consumption is prioritized, and only surplus electricity is fed into the grid. Full feed-in means that the entire production goes into the grid, and higher remuneration rates can be utilized. Self-consumption is particularly worthwhile with rising electricity prices. DRBO Greenenergy recommends using storage systems like SunLit to maximize self-consumption and reduce dependence on the feed-in tariff.

When must the system be registered?

Registration takes place before commissioning with the grid operator and in the market master data register. Within two weeks of installation, performance data and the commissioning report must be submitted. The grid operator checks contracts and initiates payment. DRBO Greenenergy facilitates registration with plug & play systems and comprehensive consulting.

Why is the feed-in tariff decreasing in the long term?

The degression reflects falling solar costs and aims to promote self-consumption over grid feed-in. From February 2025, the rate for small systems will be 7.95 cents/kWh. In this context, storage solutions are gaining importance. DRBO Greenenergy offers balcony electricity storage systems that increase independence and self-consumption.

How does self-consumption affect the remuneration?

Self-consumption increases profitability because saved electricity avoids higher costs than the feed-in tariff. With smart storage systems, households can use over 70% of the generated electricity themselves. DRBO Greenenergy’s SunLit storage solutions with Deye inverters optimize this for tenants and owners and reduce grid feed-in.

DRBO Greenenergy Expert Opinions

"The 2024 feed-in tariff marks a turning point: declining rates make storage and self-consumption indispensable. At DRBO Greenenergy, we observe that balcony power plants with SunLit energy storage offer the best returns – up to 20% higher self-consumption rates through smart energy management systems. Our customers benefit from refurbished storage systems and complete packages that simplify installation and use. The decentralized energy transition can only succeed with practical solutions like our plug & play systems." – DRBO Greenenergy Expert Team

What subsidies complement the feed-in tariff?

KfW loans and regional grants can complement the EEG remuneration for photovoltaics and storage. Nationwide programs like KfW 270/271 offer favorable loans, while states like Bavaria provide additional grants. DRBO Greenenergy advises customers on complete solutions, including mounting accessories and eligible storage solutions.

How does a PV system amortize in 2024?

Amortization occurs in 5 to 8 years with remuneration rates of 8 cents/kWh and self-consumption of around 30 cents/kWh. The cost per kWp is between 1,200 and 1,800 Euros. With storage systems, the amortization period is shortened. DRBO Greenenergy offers fair prices, high-quality components, and special promotions to increase profitability.

Conclusion: Your next steps

The 2024 feed-in tariff offers solid support, but self-consumption and storage are gaining importance. Choose partial feed-in, register your system in time, and combine it with DRBO Greenenergy solutions for balcony power plants and storage. This way, you secure maximum independence and benefit from stable revenues. Start now with personalized advice from DRBO Greenenergy.
