Today, even listed buildings can often be equipped with photovoltaic systems. New regulations in several federal states allow a more liberal approval practice for solar systems on listed buildings. Owners of historic buildings now have the opportunity to use solar energy to cut electricity costs and reduce CO₂ emissions without significantly altering the appearance of the building.
There are various solutions to visually adapt photovoltaic systems. Colored modules, which are available in brick red or slate grey, offer better integration into the historic cityscape than conventional shiny solar modules. Solar tiles, which do little to change the appearance of the roof, are also an option. These solutions offer a practical option for the use of renewable energy on historic buildings.
However, the installation of solar systems on listed buildings requires careful planning and communication with the monument protection authorities. Owners of listed buildings should contact the relevant authorities at an early stage in order to find the best solutions.
