Retailers complain about long waiting times for PV systems

The Energy Industry Association (BDEW) is also seeing a sharp increase in requests for connection. “The network operators are currently connecting heat pumps, wall boxes and PV systems to their network at high pressure,” said Kerstin Andreae, Chairwoman of the General Management. “Many network operators work special shifts, sometimes on Saturdays, to cope with the rush.” According to BDEW, with larger PV systems it may be necessary to expand the network or build a new transformer.
