German grid operator cuts home solar approval time to five minutes
Original: German DSO cuts residential solar grid connection approval time to 5 minutes
A German distribution system operator has reduced the grid connection approval process for residential solar installations to just five minutes, a dramatic speed-up compared with the weeks or months typically required elsewhere. The move is being discussed in energy circles as an example of how automated digital processes can remove a major bottleneck for rooftop solar adoption and speed up Germany's energy transition.
Why now: It highlights how fast administrative barriers to residential solar can be removed, contrasting with slow approval processes in other countries.
