## How it works in Wolfratshausen

Battery: sign only after approval.

1. Battery: apply with a quote before work starts and before you buy; start only after written approval, then six months to finish
2. After installation hand in the final invoice and proof of payment unasked; the battery must run for ten years
3. Plug-in solar: buy and install first, then apply within three months of the invoice date, by email or at the town hall; keep it running for three years
4. Processed once the documents are complete; there is no legal claim
5. Cannot be combined with other public grants (federal, state, KfW)
6. Rooftop PV: only as a special measure by individual decision; systems for which the federal or state governments have funding ready are excluded

But in Wolfratshausen, using other public funding (federal, state, KfW) at the same time rules out the city's grant; the city excludes stacking.
