FAQ
QAre TOPCon modules permitted under KfW 270 financing?
Yes. KfW 270 is technology-neutral — any IEC 61215/61730 certified module qualifies. Banks typically request TÜV product test reports and a Bankability Class B+ rating from PV-Tech or RETC, which all tier-1 Chinese TOPCon brands hold.
QWhich German EPCs pre-qualify Chinese TOPCon at scale?
BayWa r.e., Goldbeck Solar, Enerparc, IBC SOLAR and BELECTRIC each procure 200+ MW/yr of Chinese TOPCon and maintain in-house QA for bifacial yield modeling.
QHow is the 0% EU MFN tariff maintained?
EU anti-dumping and countervailing measures on Chinese modules lapsed in September 2018 and have not been reinstated. CBAM in its current scope does not include PV modules.
QWhat VDE inverter codes pair with TOPCon arrays in Germany?
VDE-AR-N 4105 (≤135 kW LV) and VDE-AR-N 4110 (MV) define grid-code behavior. Huawei SUN2000, Sungrow SG and GoodWe MT series ship pre-certified firmware for both codes.
