The share of solar energy in German electricity generation has increased strongly over recent years. This is largely due to guaranteed feed-in tariffs together with decreasing prices for solar panels. Residential PV systems play a decisive part providing households with a possibility to...

Solar thermal roof-top installations offer the potential to meet an important share of residential water and space heating demand in Germany. These systems are subsidised with grants under the so-called market incentive program. The political goal is to encourage the adoption of renewable energy...

The German housing stock needs substantial energetic retrofit to meet carbon reduction targets. Various instruments are available to motivate building owners to improve the energy efficiency of their dwellings. These instruments mainly focus on the economic issue of funding and financing energy...

Die gekoppelte Erzeugung von Strom und Waerme in KWK-Anlagen ist eine der brennstoffeffizientesten Erzeugungsformenim Strommarkt. Aus diesem Grund wird sie in vielen europaeischen Laendern gefoerdert und ihr Ausbau ist erklaertes Ziel von Regierungen und Nichtregierungsorganisationen. Durch die...
