The European Council has approved a proposal to amend the EU rules on rates of value-added tax (VAT) to give member states more flexibility to set them. If adopted, solar panels for residential and 'public interest' applications would be included in the list of goods and services for which a maximum of 5% VAT could be levied.

By harnessing the power of the sun, solar energy projects contribute to a greener and more sustainable future while offering long-term economic benefits. The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is one of the most substantial incentives available for solar energy projects in the United States.
The 2022 annual tax law, which the Bundestag approved last week, includes a comprehensive change in the tax treatment of PV systems for the first time. The new rules will resolve some key problems for small PV systems and will eliminate some bureaucratic requirements. The legislative package contains two important changes for photovoltaics.
Under this program, eligible taxpayers can claim a percentage of their solar system’s cost as a tax credit. Currently, the ITC offers a 30% credit for commercial, governmental and non-profit solar projects that are placed in service in 2022 or later and begin construction before 2033, according to the Department of Energy.
Solar panels from installations of 500 kW or more are subject to the full energy tax. Solar electricity from installations with less than 500 kW of their own power – but where the owner has solar panels totalling more than 500 kW in different installations – can be taxed through a reduced energy tax.
