EEG 2026: What's changing for photovoltaic installers?
The Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) will be adjusted again in 2026. For PV installers and specialist companies, this means new framework conditions, changed remuneration rates, and additional requirements for installation quality. Those who plan ahead now will secure competitive advantages.
The most important changes at a glance
- Simplified registration procedures: Small systems up to 30 kWp benefit from accelerated approval processes.
- Increased quality standards: The legislator increasingly demands standard-compliant installation, including for cable penetrations and seals.
- Repowering funding: Older systems receive incentives for modernization, which increases the demand for current accessories.
- Balcony power plants: The expanded feed-in regulation also drives the market for professional installation accessories.
What does this mean for the accessory market?
Rising installation numbers mean growing demand for reliable mounting material. Roof penetrations are often underestimated but critical components. Leaks in cable routing can lead to long-term moisture damage and costly complaints.
NEXCAPE roof penetrations made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) meet the increased quality requirements. They are manufactured in Germany using 3D printing and are available in variants from 2 PV to 6 PV, optionally with an earthing cable (PE). Tool-free installation without MC4 removal saves valuable time on every construction site.
B2B advantages for installation companies
Especially with increasing order numbers, proactive material procurement pays off. From 20 pieces, specialist companies benefit from attractive quantity discounts at NEXCAPE. The penetrations are available in lengths of 105 mm, 125 mm, and 150 mm, making them suitable for most roof constructions.
Conclusion: Focus on quality now
The EEG 2026 rewards professional work. Those who use standard-compliant accessories reduce complaints and strengthen their own reputation. High-quality roof penetrations are a simple but effective lever.
