Battery power storage - High-yield and IAB-capable to reduce your tax burden

Battery storage as an investment: act cleverly from a tax perspective and benefit sustainably

In times of volatile energy markets, rising electricity prices and increasing tax burdens, many people are looking for a way not only to secure their capital, but also to increase it in a targeted manner. This is precisely where the concept of battery storage investments comes in: an up-to-date and highly attractive tax solution for anyone who is looking not only for short-term returns but also for long-term capital growth - and wants to actively contribute to the energy transition.

The new opportunity: direct participation in the energy transition

For a long time, battery power storage was an exclusive playing field for institutional investors. But that is changing. Recently, private investors have also been able to invest directly in these strategically important infrastructures. Unlike traditional funds, you become a real owner - with personal ownership of battery units and inverters. This proximity to tangible assets not only creates a strong sense of security, but also forms the basis for one of the most attractive tax structures that German tax law has to offer.

The tax lever: utilising the investment deduction amount (IAB)

At the heart of every tax-optimised investment in battery storage is the investment deduction (Section 7g EStG). It allows you to deduct up to 50 % of the planned sum can be claimed for tax purposes. With a tax rate of 42 % and an investment of 200,000 € you save over 42,000 in taxes - immediately and in cash with the tax assessment notice.

In addition, you can claim a special depreciation allowance of 40 per cent in the year of commissioning. % of the residual value - another 16,800 € tax savings. This results in a total tax advantage of almost 60,000 which significantly reduces your equity capital employed or does not require the use of equity capital at all.

Income from electricity trading and grid stabilisation

A battery storage system is not an object of speculation, but a highly functional, technically mature element of the energy industry. Its yields come from:

• Arbitrage trading on the electricity spot marketElectricity is bought cheaply and sold at a high price when needed.
• Provision of control powerGrid operators remunerate the mere willingness to stabilise the electricity grid.
• Stabilisation of the power gridStorage of surplus energy that would otherwise have to be sold or given away if the electricity grid is overloaded.
• Multi-market strategies: By participating in several markets at the same time, earnings can be further increased.

These sources of income can be planned, regardless of the weather or time of day, and offer a rare combination of stability and flexibility.

For whom is a battery storage investment particularly worthwhile?

This form of investment is aimed at people who take responsibility for their assets - and at the same time are prepared to make intelligent use of tax leeway:

• High earners with a high tax burden can realise considerable tax savings through IAB and special depreciation.
• Self-employed and freelancers benefit from tax relief in particularly profitable years.
• Heirs and transferors of assets use the opportunity to pass on business assets across generations in a tax-optimised manner.
• Settlement recipient can significantly reduce the burden of high one-off payments through the retroactive use of IAB.
• All those who want to invest sustainablyfind a high-yield alternative to traditional property or equity investments here.

The process: transparent and professional

From the initial consultation to commissioning, the process is clearly structured:

1. Discussion of your tax situation and investment goals
2. Search and find suitable projects
3. Draw up contracts and clarify financing, if required
4. Support in project development and implementation
5. Commissioning and start of the yield phase

As an investor, you do not have to clarify any technical questions or issues. Management is professional and efficient. At the same time, you remain the owner of your investment at all times - with full control over your investment.

Invest now - because you are at a very early stage of this form of investment

Several developments currently speak clearly in favour of an entry:

• Increasing electricity price volatility The expansion of renewable energies creates ideal conditions for battery power storage.
• Decline in conventional power plants increases the demand for balancing energy - battery storage systems are predestined for this.
• Technological advances extend the service life and reduce the operating costs of modern storage solutions.
• Additional remuneration in the form of capacity markets are already being discussed and could open up further sources of income.

The amortisation period for battery storage systems is only 10 years - significantly shorter than for PV systems - which enables additional tax advantages.

Conclusion - battery storage systems are an investment in returns, security and the future

A battery storage investment is more than just a tax-smart decision. It is a strategic response to the challenges of a changing energy industry - and an effective tool for asset protection in uncertain times.

You combine immediate tax savings, stable sources of income and a sustainable contribution to the energy transition. And all this with minimum effort, maximum transparency and a high degree of security.

Those who act now will not only secure excellent framework conditions - they will also position themselves optimally for a future in which decentralised energy storage will play a key role.
