re: German Solar Feed in Tariffs .. solarbuzz.com There was a PBS show awhile back that featured a young German dairy farmer .. Had about 50 acres all told .. He borrowed $5 million to install solar PV ground mounted system in one of his fields and due to the above regs was netting in excess of $75,000.00 after all costs for his system .. grid tied no batteries .. Cows were for sale <gg> Just an aside .. without the government subsidized rebates there would be zero solar in Germany .. The feed in tariff is 5-6 times the normal retail cost of electricity per kwh .. I pay 0.14/kwh in CT .. I'd install PV panels if my local utility had to pay me 0.77/kwh for my production .. That's what's happening in Germany; hence the explosive growth in solar PV installations in a country that has a lousy solar input .. Triff ..
