## How it works in Puchheim

After applying, sign at your own risk.

1. Written application (form) with a quote, before you place the order
2. Rooftop PV and battery: cover the roof fully to a technically sensible extent; 15 kWp or more counts as full
3. Plug-in solar: you may also apply up to 14 days after buying or ordering
4. Finish the work and hand in the final documents (payout request, invoice, proof of payment) within one year of approval; in justified cases an extension of six months can be requested
5. Run the system for at least eight years; federal or state grants come first, no double funding
