5 2. Highlights of solar photovoltaic market development in Germany 5

6 Solar photovoltaic industry status 2006 Installed power in 2006 Cummulated installed power Yearly electricity production No of companies in Gemany No of employees in Gemany Cost degression over the last 10 years Domestic content 750 MWp MWp GWh/a % 65% Image: Solarwatt market data BSW 6

7 Solar photovoltaic development over the last 15 years 1991: Electricity Feed-In Act (1) Right of grid access (2) Right of feed-in of solar electricity and (3) Right of refund payment at fixed prices (approx. ct8.5 per kwh) : 1,000 Roofs Program Verification of PV systems grid compatibility : Consolidation Only regional support programs, demo plants, development of the cost-covering refund payment system : 100,000 Roofs Program Low-interest loans for 300 MWp of installed capacity 1/4/2000: Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) Solar electricity feed-in tariff of ct51 per kwh 1/1/2004: Amendment to EEG Feed-in tariff of ct per kwh annually installed power in MWp German PV market development PV power installed annually and as total annually installed grid-connected annually installed off-grid total installed total installed power in MWp 7

8 Solar photovoltaic development over the last 15 years 800 MWp annually installed gridconnected solar PV Cell production in Germany Year Image: Solarwatt market data BSW-Solar 8

9 Solar photovoltaic development over the last 15 years Main results Careful development of adequate support instruments from direct incentives to feed-in tariffs for IPPs to ensure durable quality products of product lifetime of 20 years Development of the PV sector hand-in-hand with market growth from small system integrators to fully integrated solar industry Information & awareness for all relevant stakeholders installers, producers, R & D, consumers, finance, policy Image: Solarwatt 9

10 Highlights of solar photovoltaic market development in Germany arbitrary selection 10

11 PV module production capacity in Germany increased from 100 to 700 MWp in 2002 to 2006 Sunways AG / SolarWorld AG 11

12 Investment of over 1 bn EURO in new production facilities in Germany from Evergreen AG, calculation PSE GmbH 12

13 jobs in the PV market in production, planning, installation, maintenance Q-Cells, Solon, Suntechnics 13

14 Large scale ground mounted PV power plant over 10 MWp Solon AG 14

15 High public awareness for PV BSW-Solar 15

16 R & D for future technology Concentrix GmbH 16

17 Reliable solar power supply for remote areas SMA AG 17

18 Reliable solar power supply for remote areas SMA AG / Phaesun 18

19 3. Key aspects of rural electrification Proven benefits for the rural population Achieving the Millennium Development Goals Principles for successful implementation Conditions for private sector investment 19

20 Proven benefits of rural electrification Light up homes and bring modern communication to remote villages Supply power to small enterprises, health centres and schools Create local job opportunities Uplift social conditions 20

21 PV contributes to achieve the Millennium Development Goals Better universal primary education Reduction of child mortality Better maternal health Awareness and decrease of HIV/AIDS, malaria and other major diseases.. 21

22 Principles of successful implementation Use of high quality products [tested by approved R&D institutes] Reliable after-sales service by local companies [trained and monitored through international programmes] Adapted financing schemes for local entrepreneurs and local users [including capacity building] 22

23 Principles of successful implementation Community involvement through information and awareness campaigns to increase local acceptance Create local income generation opportunities Co-operation between foreign industry and local entrepreneurs 23

24 4. Economical and political framework conditions for solar energy development to create markets to supply energy for rural infrastructure 24

25 Conditions for private sector investment Political support Political willingness and clear statements towards support of renewable energies White paper on energy policy with defined goals for the development of the renewable energy (RE) sector Clear milestones with regular audit to achieve the goals in time constraint Good governance which respects democratic rules as a key prerequisite 25

26 Conditions for private sector investment Financial support Investors support like tax relief, soft loans or other kind of incentives schemes Attractive and reliable tariff structure for IPPs Capacity building Building of technical and financial capacity on national and local level 26
