The Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland e. V. ( SFV ) is an environmental association based in Aachen that conducts public relations work for the use of renewable energies and offers a consulting service for operators of photovoltaic systems. He strives for the fastest possible conversion of the energy supply to 100 percent renewable energies and is committed to the recovery of CO 2 from the atmosphere using technical means.

General

The Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland e. V. (SFV) was founded in Aachen in 1986 (originally "Solarenergie-Förderverein eV" (SFV)). It includes personal members (private individuals) and sustaining members (without voting rights - mostly companies).

It is recognized as a non-profit organization and operates nationwide. According to its statutes, it works as an environmental protection association. The association regards climate change as a result of the use of fossil fuels and the risk of radioactive radiation when using nuclear energy as the greatest dangers for human civilization. He is therefore committed to 100 percent renewable energies worldwide.

One of the best-known proposals of the association is the so-called Aachen model , a market launch instrument for renewable energies, which was first used in 1994. The basic idea of ​​the Aachen model, the cost-covering remuneration , was first presented by the SFV in 1989. It was incorporated into the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) in 2000, which led to the rapid spread of solar systems.

The association develops proposals for the market introduction of renewable energies and for electricity storage ( Power-to-X ) as well as for tax restructuring of the economy. In addition, he supports private solar power producers as a nationwide lobby group and is a non-permanent assessor at the EEG clearing house.

aims

The main goal of the Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland e. V. is the rapid, complete conversion of the energy supply to renewable energies, in particular to solar and wind energy. The association focuses on solar power. Instead of sealing new areas, roofs, facades and noise barriers should be used. Another important goal of the association is the recovery of CO 2 from the atmosphere by technical means. National action should have a global impact.

The individual goals and principles are:

  • Reject the accusation of excessive cost burden from the EEG
  • Climate change is expensive and lives at risk - renewable energies as soon as possible - delays are irresponsible
  • Long-term predictability of the feed-in tariffs is essential
  • Short distance between power generators, storage systems and power consumers - minimizing network expansion - increasing security of supply - decentralization is not an end in itself
  • Keep system operators free from avoidable tasks - priority for renewable energies - connection, purchase and payment obligations of the network operator
  • Focus on onshore wind energy (approx. 10% of the land area) and solar power (if possible from already sealed areas) - no cultivation of biomass for energy generation
  • Remuneration for decentralized energy storage
  • Integration of buffer storage in photovoltaic systems to compensate for strongly fluctuating solar power generation is a priority
  • Development of long-term storage for weeks without wind and sun
  • Grid stabilization also a task for solar and wind systems
  • Efficiency offensive by shifting the tax burden from wage costs to energy costs
  • Recovery of CO 2 from the atmosphere by technical means.

Electricity storage

In recent years, the association has increasingly called for the expansion of electricity storage facilities. The background to this requirement is the fact that electrical power is not required continuously in the same amount, but as required. For physical reasons, electricity has to be delivered precisely to the second when it is needed, otherwise the power grid gets out of step and in the worst case collapses.

Every electricity production, including fossil / atomic, is basically tied to storage: coal power plant ( coal dump ), oil power plant ( oil tank ), gas power plant ( cavern storage ), nuclear power plant ( fuel rods ), hydropower plant ( reservoir ) etc. Accordingly, a complete energy supply must be based on Adequate storage facilities for renewable energies are available in order to be able to ensure a needs-based energy supply in such a system. The crucial question in the process of system changeover is when which new types of storage or conversion technologies (Power to X) must be available.

In order for an adequate energy storage system to be available in sufficient quantities at the right time, the association believes that a market launch (comparable to EEG) is necessary to achieve technological development and degression.

Magazine and newsletter

The association regularly sends out newsletters on the subject of renewable energies. He publishes the quarterly magazine Solarbrief ( ISSN  0946-8684 ).

history

The association was founded on November 15, 1986 in Aachen as the Solarenergie-Förderverein e. V. founded and on November 1, 2003 in Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland e. V. (SFV) renamed.

In its history, the association has given itself four statutes: 1986, 1997, 2003 and 2019.

Caricatures on the subject of climate change and the energy transition

The SFV has been publishing caricatures by Gerhard Mester on the subject of climate change and the energy transition for many years .

Constitutional complaint about insufficient German climate policy

On November 23, 2018, the BUND and the Solarenergie-Förderverein together with eleven individuals (including Josef Göppel , Hannes Jaenicke and Volker Quaschning ) lodged a constitutional complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) . The first lawsuit of this kind is intended to increase the pressure on politicians to do more to combat climate change. The initiative for this constitutional lawsuit came from the SFV and is financed exclusively from donations and own funds by the SFV.

Brief report on the limits of the law on administrative offenses and absence from school in the course of the Fridays For Future movement

In a brief report from March 2019, the Solarenergie-Förderverein Deutschland has Felix Ekardt examine the limits of the (German) law on administrative offenses related to school absences as part of the Fridays For Future movement.

Structure and numbers

Various information points belong to the association, e.g. B. the SFV-Info -stelle Nordbayern in Heidenheim or the SFV-Info -stelle in Amberg .

The entire board consists of up to seven board members. The managing director is a member of the board of directors. Currently this is Susanne Jung.
