Summary

The Landlord-to-Tenant Electricity Act of 2017 adds new incentives for increasing solar energy generation in Germany and enables tets to directly profit from the energy transition. The landlord-to-tenant electricity funding program's objectives are to assist tenants in directly contributing to the energy transition and to offer more incentives for the installation of solar power on residential structures. Electricity that is generated in solar PV installations on a residential building's roof and delivered directly to end users, specifically tenants of the building, tenants of other residential buildings nearby, and other buildings in the immediate area, is known as landlord-to-tenant electricity. The local power grid receives payment for the electricity that tenants do not utilize.
