STUDENTS REPORT: VERBUND SOLAR ENERGY PACKAGE | SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2009 | 47<br />

Since June 2009, <strong>Verbund</strong> has given private households the option of using solar energy for<br />

their own consumption. Using a photovoltaics system on the roof and the <strong>Verbund</strong> solar energy<br />

package, energy supply becomes more affordable.<br />

From submission of the grant papers to installation of the system, everything is arranged by a<br />

single source – with powerful partners offering their support. The energy generated is fed in as<br />

valuable peak energy, and the customer receives more payment than he or she pays for electricity<br />

(energy price) from the grid. It also allows private citizens to invest in a pioneering form of energy<br />

production. People have shown great interest in expanding their own energy efficiency: more than<br />

2,000 households have inquired about <strong>Verbund</strong>’s solar energy package in early July.<br />

PROJECT DATA (AS OF END OF 2009):<br />

• Approximately 500 grant applications<br />

• Some 40 photovoltaics systems in operation<br />

• 35 additional photovoltaics systems applied for<br />

• Production per system: max. 5 kW peak
