The German solar trade association (BSW) has criticised government proposals to amend its Energy Industry Act, which it said could hamper the deployment of commercial rooftop solar installations.

In a statement on Friday (25 October), the BSW highlighted the amendment’s proposal that new PV systems with an output of 25kWp should sell power directly back to the grid. It said that processes for direct selling of solar power for small producers are “inadequately digitised” and would be “neither technically nor economically feasible”.
