The perception of current energy price increases among people is high, as the latest study. For more than two-thirds of surveyed German households, rising energy prices result in specific actions. Besides optimizing their own energy consumption, about one-third consider purchasing a photovoltaic (PV) system. Because of high energy prices, one-fourth of interviewees view buying an electric car as an interesting option. Households that have exhausted all energy-saving potentials see no need for action. These are results of a recent analysis in the context of this year’s Energiewende Award for energy suppliers. The perception of and dealing with energy price increases are the object of a recent study. The survey among 500 households shows that a little more than half of the interviewees mostly perceive energy price increases when fueling their cars. Additionally, one-fourth of interviewees see a connection between the rise in energy prices with an overall increase in consumer goods prices. For twelve, seven, and four percent of survey participants energy price increases are revealed in their gas, electricity, or oil bill. Further results reveal that two-thirds of homeowners derive specific actions as a result of rising energy prices. The most dominant action named is a behavioral change regarding their own energy consumption in order to realize cost savings. About half of the survey respondents intending to optimize their energy consumption, name the purchase of more efficient electrical appliances as a measure to reduce energy usage. About 41 and 38 percent of interviewees consider a change of supplier for electricity and oil/gas respectively. In order to minimize externally sourced electricity and to reduce energy costs, 36 percent of survey participants plan to buy a PV system to allow for the self-consumption of solar electricity. With about one-fourth each, the exchange of the heating system or the switch to electric vehicles is named as two more measures that are specific to combat increasing energy prices. More than one-third of the 500 interviewed homeowners do not see a need for specific actions for different reasons: About half of the respondents believe they have exhausted all saving potentials in their households. About 31 percent of this group states to become only active once diesel-fueled cars or oil heating is being banned. A little more than one-fourth of those interviewees are waiting for more attractive funding while every fifth lacks knowledge about energy savings or the possibility for own energy production. The relatively small share of people (9 percent), for whom energy costs do not play a major role, shows that energy costs are generally highly relevant.   “Because energy costs are climbing from one record to another, citizen instinctively focus more and more on energy costs. Our most recent market research results demonstrate a distinct sensibility for energy prices in the population. The high willingness to implement measures to counteract high energy prices or energy demand, can clearly be seen as positive. High energy prices accelerate started development to invest in an own photovoltaic system or electric car”, comments Dr. Martin Ammon, Managing Partner of EUPD Research, on the latest results.

As with many industrial transitions, the emergence of solar PV was aided by government investment. This occurred first through R&D, and then the creation of a stable investment climate, as Germany did with the creation of the energy transition over the last 15 years. Renewable Energy – Recast to 2030 (RED II) In November 2016, the European Commission published its ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ initiative. As part of this package, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal for a recast of the Renewable Energy Directive. In the context of the co-decision procedure, a final compromise text among the EU institutions was agreed in June 2018. In December 2018, the revised renewable energy directive 2018/2001/EU entered into force. OVERALL TARGET--In RED II, the overall EU target for Renewable Energy Sources consumption by 2030 has been raised to 32%. European countries publish positive policy to respond RED II, for example, The Italian state has long been attentive to the production of sustainable energy to meet the national objectives of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. For this reason, it has provided an incentive for photovoltaics which is configured as a tax relief that helps citizens to amortize and reduce the cost of installing a photovoltaic system and is a proactive stimulus in the choice of switching to energy from RES (Sources of Renewable Energy) for domestic consumption. Budget Law 2020: deductions for photovoltaics confirmed The 2020 Budget Law of 12/30/2019 extends Home Bonuses active already during 2019 in the field of energy efficiency until December 31, 2020. Among these we find the Restructuring Bonus , the tax deduction identified by Presidential Decree 917/86 art. 16.bis , intended for restoration, conservative rehabilitation and renovation of one's home, including interventions for energy saving and the use of renewable energy sources . For the installation of photovoltaic solar systems in the home, the tax concessions provided for by the legislation consist of a 50% personal income tax deduction, which also include any energy storage device.   More and more people living in different countries and areas initiate searching for photovoltaic power system that could produce independent clean electricity for the home use. Below our experience on how to choose a suitable solar panel system for your house. 1. What types of solar energy kits The most commonly searched for type of solar energy kits are: Grid-tied/on grid kit These are solar panel kits designed to power a house. The most common type of kits for homes are a simple grid-tied kit. The reason is that these are the most common is that in most states there are net metering laws that give you close to retail value for excess solar energy that you export to the utility grid system during the middle of the day when your solar system. This means that most people don’t need a battery bank to store this excess power the panels produce during the middle of the day when your house is consuming little electricity. A grid-tied kit is usually only the solar panels and the inverter. It may or may not also include the mounting hardware required to connect your solar panels to your roof or other sundry electrical equipment such as cables, glands, circuit breakers, etc.  Off-grid kit The second type of solar panel kits for homes are off-grid solar power kits. There are both AC coupled and DC coupled off grid system kits. If the off grid kit is an AC coupled it will include the same equipment as a grid tied kit (solar panels and a standard DC to AC grid inverter) but also the batteries. 2. How to compare solar panel kits online Obviously, each of the different types of solar kits described above will include different equipment. However, regardless of whether the kit is, there are differences between kits websites that are worth being aware to compare them. Notably: Does the kit seller offer design advice? Does the kit price include free shipping? Does the kit include mounting equipment and sundry electrical?

Choosing the appropriate energy storage power battery for RVs and Marines RVs and Marines are mobile living spaces with very limited space and capacity, so it is necessary to choose a suitable backup power supply (energy storage battery) to improve the quality of life in the mobile space. Lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries At present, there are two kinds of energy storage materials commonly used in small functional energy storage systems, one is lead-acid batteries and the other is lithium-ion batteries. Among them, lithium-ion batteries can be divided into square batteries, soft pack batteries and cylindrical batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are currently mainstream lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary material batteries, etc. refer to lithium-ion batteries with lithium iron phosphate and ternary material as the cathode material, respectively. Ternary materials refer to Ni, Co, Mn or Ni, Co, Al three metal elements as the core element of the cathode material. The energy density of lithium iron phosphate battery is 120Wh/kg and 80Wh/kg after grouping, while the energy density of ternary lithium battery is 180Wh/kg and 110Wh/kg after grouping. After the battery is formed into a group, due to the harsh and complex working conditions, the life will be reduced to a certain extent. Cycle life of Lead-acid battery, ternary lithium battery and Lithium battery The energy density of lead-acid battery, ternary lithium battery and lithium iron phosphate battery are 40Wh/kg, 100Wh/kg and 80Wh/kg respectively, and the weight per kWh is 25kg/Kwh, 10kg/Kwh and 12.5kg/Kwh respectively, and the cycle life is 500 times, 3000 times and 3000 times respectively. The RV is designed according to the backup power of 10 degrees, the lead-acid battery needs 250kg, and the ternary and lithium iron phosphate batteries are about 100kg and 125kg respectively. Obviously, lead-acid batteries are not suitable as backup power for mobile transportation, comprehensive environmental protection, safety and other factors, ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate are good choices.
