Rooftop solar with a battery has become a common upgrade for houses in Berlin's outer districts and the Brandenburg commuter belt, and apartment buildings are following through tenant electricity schemes. Installers range from small master craftsman firms to companies with dozens of fitters, and many bundle panels with heat pumps, wallboxes and energy management.

This guide lists installers whose own websites describe their services and process. For each one we note who does the installation, how quotes and timelines work, which extras it offers and how it handles grid registration and subsidies.

How to choose Solar Panel Installers in Berlin

  1. Ask who will be on your roofSome installers send only their own employed fitters, others rely on partner firms. Ask who mounts the panels and who connects the inverter and the meter cabinet.
  2. Compare complete quotesCheck module and inverter brands, battery size, scaffolding, meter cabinet work and grid registration, since quotes often differ in what they include rather than in price alone.
  3. Check the Berlin grants firstBerlin's SolarPLUS programme supports batteries and other parts of a system. Ask the installer whether the grant has to be applied for before you sign the order.
  4. Size the battery to your useAn oversized battery rarely pays for itself. Its size should follow your real consumption and allow for a future heat pump or electric car.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a solar system cost in Berlin?

It varies. The price depends on the system size, the roof type and access, the module and inverter brands, whether a battery is included and whether the meter cabinet needs upgrading. Systems of up to 30 kWp on homes have been sold without VAT since 2023, so compare quotes on the full price including all work.

Do I need permission to install solar panels in Berlin?

Most rooftop systems on houses do not need a building permit, but listed buildings and some protected areas need approval. Every system must be registered with the grid operator and in the Federal Network Agency's Marktstammdatenregister, which installers usually handle. Berlin's solar law also requires panels on new buildings and on many roofs that undergo major renovation.

Can I use solar power if I rent a flat in Berlin?

Yes, within limits. A plug-in balcony system can be requested from the landlord or the owners' association, which may set conditions on how it is mounted but can no longer refuse it without good reason. For whole buildings, owners can install a rooftop system and supply residents through a tenant electricity scheme.
