Yess, the new regulations are awesome! Especially the recent simplification of the MaStR (Marktstammdatenregister) System has made everything easier for anyone involved.
But... just a heads up, if you don't register your balcony panel, we can and do find you using satellite pictures ๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ™‚

You have to declare that you have a solar panel to the government?

[โ€“] python@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, the reason is that undocumented solar panels plugged into the Grid could cause seriously dangerous power spikes and throw off calculations on how much Suppliers need to feed into the Grid. So the only panels that don't have to be declared and registered with MaStR are ones on top of cars and ones that are so remote that you couldn't plug them in in any case (but Germany has basically no places remote enough to meet that criteria)
