On many apartment buildings, solar systems can be operated economically, which means that the investment pays off within a few years.

Everyone Energy, a German consultancy company, has developed a digital tool that shows whether a roof is suitable for installing solar panels and what operating model is best. After introducing some information such as size and orientation of the roof, the tool generates a document with all the relevant information, including installation costs, profitability, and impact in the climate. The service is available for owners, building groups, housing cooperatives and tenants living in Germany.

The use of the tool is free and non-binding.
