Tenant electricity - 5 misconceptions that prevent many from taking advantage of this opportunity

Tenant electricity offers a sustainable, economical and future-proof solution for residential buildings - right on site. Nevertheless, there are many misunderstandings that unsettle landlords and tenants. Let us clear things up!

1. "Tenant electricity is only worthwhile for large residential complexes."

Wrong! Many people believe that tenant electricity is only worthwhile for large residential complexes. But smaller apartment buildings can also benefit economically. Thanks to modern billing systems and flexible models, buildings with as few as 5 residential units are suitable - often with little effort.

Example: An apartment building with 10 parties can cover around 40-50% of its electricity requirements directly on site with a 30 kWp photovoltaic system and reduce costs at the same time.

Have your building checked! We calculate individually whether tenant electricity is worthwhile for your property.

 

 2. "As a landlord, I have too much administrative work."

Not with the right partner! Many landlords fear that tenant electricity is associated with complicated billing, tax hurdles and additional expense. But this is not the case if you opt for a professional solution.

We offer you:

  • Analysis and planning of your property
  • PV planning, installation and commissioning by our reliable partner
  • Sample contracts, advice and intuitive software for a smooth process

➡ You have no extra work - but benefit in the long term from an upgraded property!

 

3. "Tenants end up paying more than with other electricity providers."

Quite the opposite! Many tenants fear that they will have to pay more for tenant electricity than for conventional grid electricity. However, tenant electricity is actually cheaper and more stable in price in most cases.

Why?

  • Elimination of grid fees, levies and taxes incurred for grid electricity
  • Lower prices than the basic supply - often 10-20% below the local standard tariff
  • Price stability through long-term, fair tariff models

Example: An average household with a consumption of 2,500 kWh per year can save €150-250 a year with tenant electricity - and that with 100% renewable energy!

We will be happy to prepare a non-binding profitability calculation for your building.

 

4. "Tenant electricity is not economical without subsidies."

Not anymore!
It is true that there are subsidy programs for tenant electricity - but the model can be profitable even without state subsidies.

Why?

  • Photovoltaic systems are cheaper than ever - prices for solar modules have fallen by over 80 % in the last 10 years
  • Storage technologies optimize self-consumption - and make electricity even more economical
  • New business models (e.g. direct marketing, smart metering) reduce costs and increase efficiency

We check for you whether your tenant electricity model pays off even without subsidies!

 

5. "This only makes sense for new buildings."

Wrong! Many people believe that tenant electricity only works for new buildings because the technical requirements are better there. However, existing buildings can also be easily retrofitted with photovoltaic systems and appropriate measurement technology.

Possible solutions for existing buildings:

  • PV systems on roofs, facades or carports
  • Battery storage for higher self-consumption rate
  • Modern measurement technology for tenant electricity in the building
  • Load management for optimized electricity use

Example: A 40-year-old apartment building with a flat roof was retrofitted with a 50 kWp PV system - today the tenants use over 60 % of their electricity directly from the sun!

Have your property analyzed - retrofitting is often less complicated than you think.
