Winning projects can be set up on buildings and noise barriers. These stand to win state financial support.

A total of 650 MW rooftop solar capacity is to be auctioned by the agency in 2023. This is the last and final round for this year.  

All 3 rounds were originally scheduled to offer 217 MW each. While the February 2023 round offered 217 MW, the June 2023 tender was oversubscribed with bids coming in for a total volume of 342 MW as against 191 MW tendered (see Oversubscribed Rooftop PV Auction In Germany).
