- Chip.de reports China will remove export tax incentives for PV from April 2026, a move that could raise European module and storage prices, with commodity costs like silver also trending higher.
- Since March 1, the updated VDE‑AR‑N 4105 caps feed‑in at 800 VA and allows larger PV arrays with storage under simplified processes, including a standardized form, provided the inverter is hardware‑rated to 800 VA and installations follow VDE norms.
- Market comparisons show 2,000 W bifacial complete sets without storage typically list around €579–€679, with options for German‑made or premium flat‑roof mounting and Hoymiles 800 W microinverters.
- Independent tests highlight the value of storage: a yearlong trial reported 39% self‑sufficiency and roughly €215 annual savings, and a user review of a 2,000 W system with Anker Solarbank 3 cited early monthly savings of about €30–€60.
