Germany has introduced a zero VAT rate for the first time. To meet its ambitious environmental protection goals (i.e., reduction of greenhouse gases) and to ensure a reliable, independent and sustainable energy supply, the supply and installation of smaller photovoltaic (PV) systems is zero-rated for VAT purposes as from 1 January 2023. (PV systems are electric power systems used to supply solar power.)
