On November 18, 2025, an exciting one will take place in the Ried town hallSolarTreffinstead, which deals with the topic“Electricity and heat from your own roof”busy. The event, which begins at 7:00 p.m., offers participants the opportunity to exchange ideas about photovoltaics, heat pumps and e-mobility. An independent energy consultant is available for this purpose. Participation in this free event requires prior registration, which can be done online or by telephone. Further details on registration can be found on the Ried municipality website.

In recent years the combination ofHeat pumpsandPhotovoltaic systemsproven to be an effective way to make households more independent of electricity suppliers and to actively contribute to climate protection. According to the consumer advice center, a PV system in single-family homes can cover around 20-30% of the annual electricity requirement. With the integration of onebattery storageThis self-sufficiency share can even increase to up to 40%. To ensure a sustainable investment, the total costs for heat pumps and PV systems are between 25,000 and 50,000 euros.

Funding opportunities support investments

There are numerous federal and state funding programs available to reduce the financial burden. These programs are particularly relevant because well-planned systems can not only save energy costs in the long term, but also reduce dependence on rising electricity prices. There are special subsidies such as these for energy-efficiently renovated buildingsFederal funding for efficient buildings (BEG), which will continue at the beginning of 2025 and offers support for oil heating systems or old boilers, for example. Applications for efficient individual measures can still be submitted to BAFA in order to benefit from these advantages.

The current costs for PV systems for single-family homes vary between 9,000 and 20,000 euros, while investments in heat pumps can range between 15,000 and 40,000 euros. The prices for battery storage depend on the capacity and are usually between 5,000 and 20,000 euros. A decisive factor for the economic efficiency of the systems is the share of self-consumption, which ideally should not fall below 30% of the amount generated by the PV system.

Energy advice for individual solutions

For interested households who are considering investing in sustainable energy technologies, the consumer advice center's energy advice offers support in dimensioning heat pumps, PV systems and energy storage systems. This advice not only helps with optimal planning, but also provides information about the funding available. In combination with a well-insulated building, owners can achieve high levels of self-sufficiency, meaning energy costs can be significantly reduced.

In summary it can be said that theSolarTreffon November 18, 2025 provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about these technologies and their benefits. Visitors expect valuable information and the opportunity to have questions answered directly by experts. The combination of funding, innovative technologies and comprehensive consulting services paves the way to a sustainable and cost-efficient energy future.
