Zero-rate VAT rule for customers in Germany and Austria
Shop prices are shown at 0% for customers from Germany; for Switzerland and Austria, the statutory VAT is displayed once you sign in / provide a delivery address.
For customers in Germany:
Under the Annual Tax Act 2022 (BStBl. I 2023 p. 7), a new paragraph 3 was added to Section 12 of the German VAT Act (UStG). According to Section 12(3) No. 1 sentence 1 UStG, the tax is reduced to 0% for the supply of solar modules to the operator of a photovoltaic system. This includes essential components for operating a PV system and batteries used to store electricity generated by solar modules. This applies where the PV system is installed on or near residential premises as well as public and other buildings used for activities serving the public good.
Section 12(3) UStG entered into force on 1 January 2023.

For customers in Austria:
(62) Paragraph 62: By way of derogation from § 10, the tax is reduced to 0% for supplies, intra-Community acquisitions, imports and installations of photovoltaic modules carried out after 31 December 2023 and before 1 January 2026. This applies only if the supply/installation is to, or the intra-Community acquisition/import is by, the operator. Another requirement is that the PV system’s rated power does not exceed 35 kW(p) and that the system is operated on or near the following buildings:
– Buildings used for residential purposes,
– Buildings used by public-law bodies, or
– Buildings used by corporations, associations and assets serving charitable, benevolent or religious purposes (§§ 34–47 BAO).
A PV system is deemed “near” a building only if it is located on an existing building or structure on the same plot of land. In addition, no application for an investment grant under the Renewable Expansion Act, Federal Law Gazette I No. 150/2021, may have been submitted by 31 December 2023 for the relevant PV system.
