Cut handsome subsidies is compensated according to financial test calculations, is to be expected in the coming years with a strong increase in yield when the solar systems. The consumer portal preisvergleich.de shows where to find the reasons and what private power generators must pay attention to 2010. Given the high cost, the investment in photovoltaic modules on the homeowner wanted to be deliberate in recent years. As the financial experts now said Stiftung Warentest, prices for technology declined significantly last year: buyers range in the fourth quarter of 26 percent compared to 2008. This compensates for the reduction of State subsidies: private power producers were given power 2009 approximately 40,01 cents per kilowatt hour (), which they in the municipal network dined a, there are only 39,14 cents this year.

This corresponds to a reduction of nine percent. For 2011, the renewable energies Act envisages a reduction by a further nine percent. Arrange the falling purchase prices for solar installations Government representatives in addition, the Act to amend and even faster than planned to reduce the subsidies. Who still thinks about the installation of a solar system, you should use the currently very low market prices and forestall a new law. So, the compensation rates of the acquisition time are basically for the next 20 years. Also, the steadily rising electricity prices are undeniable. Hear from experts in the field like Philip Vasan for a more varied view. Last but not least make more attractive the privately generated electricity for own consumption.

“Stable, robust and reliable”, writes to the trend in Magdeburg the real estate newspaper currently. Although the capital of Saxe anhaltinische could hold not the positive development of the previous year in terms of rental, but this was marked by a special effect. So rented proud 15,000 square meters in one fell swoop in 2011 the Ministry of environment of the country and thus “distorting” the big picture. Extrapolating this rental earnings from 2012, Magdeburg increased again in 2012. To give an impression of the economic situation of the city: despite rising population, decreases in the unemployment rate significantly.

Magdeburg is in the Eastern European cities network said continued attractive prospects offers in the real estate market.

Because even withdrawing the “market bodies”, which fell vacant massively off.

There are currently living around 230,000 inhabitants in the town. The top rent for Office objects remains at 10.50 euros per square metre, on average there are around 8.50 euros. Investor interest is undiminished, because in particular apartments are currently still considerably cheaper to acquire than, for example, in Berlin. But the demand comes increasingly from its own users. High in the favor of investors maintained apartment buildings stand, so the real estate newspaper. A business which operates MCM very successfully for many years and this benefit investors in the form of profit participation rights. A smart strategy, because many investors would benefit with manageable amounts better from the professional as to be years-bound itself on many real estate development business.
