Alternative Investment Solar Power in Germany

The inventor of the light bulb – Thomas Edison,

“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.”

We haven’t reached this critical point yet but it may come sooner than you think!

Sourcing green, Renewable Energy Investment and efficient energy is the great political and environmental challenge of the 21st century.

Solar energy has come of age since the German government and European Union set aggressive targets to raise the usage of renewable sources to 20% of total consumption requirements by the year 2010.

“Germany is the world leader in solar energy: building power stations across the country, developing the technology and manufacturing solar panels.”
BBC Radio 4, 2008

Solar energy can be used to create electricity with a process called photovoltaic (PV) which utilises solar cells or solar photovoltaic modules to convert sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaic manufacture has expanded considerably in recent years, increasing by 48% on average each year since 2002, making it the planet’s quickest growing energy technology with ever improving efficient levels.

“Analysts estimate the country [Germany] accounts for at least 50 percent of the worldwide photovoltaic market”
Reuters, 2010

To ensure that Utility companies will remain profitable, the German Government have created a law that all utility companies can buy electricity produced by solar systems at a price fixed for 20 years – a “feed-in tariff”. However this tariff is being reduced by 16% on 1st June 2010 – making investment in
Renewable Energy Investment before that date extremely attractive.

Highlights of this alternative investment if commitment is made before 1st June:

Guaranteed income of 20 yrs backed by the German Government
Net income in year 1 of €21,501
ROI is 17% net in years 1-20
Investment paid back within 6 years on net income alone
35+ year life span for the actual solar panels

Through your investment, PV solar panels will be acquired and installed on rooftops in ideal strategic places chosen to maximise sun hours and therefore electricity production.

return of investment of up to 17% net in years 1 – 20 can be achieved from this long term investment.
