FAQ

What is the difference between PPE2 and PPE2 V2?
PPE2 refers to the tendering mechanism and its carbon criterion. "V2" refers to the simplified carbon assessment calculation method: it is based on default emission values ​​per country, and not on a life cycle analysis of the plants. Same mechanism, different method, and different thresholds.

Does a PPE2 certified module qualify for the 5.5% VAT rate?
No, never automatically. The reduced VAT rate for residential installations of 9 kWp or less requires a lower carbon threshold, calculated using the V2 method, combined with maximum levels of silver, lead, and cadmium, and the presence of an energy management system. Only those installations explicitly marked as such are eligible.

Is the carbon certificate valid for all batches of the same reference?
No. One DHW This score is established for a specific supply chain and production period. A change in cell factory or wafer supplier can alter the score. Request the certificate corresponding to the delivered lot, not the generic reference certificate.

Is a PPE2 module required for a project outside of a tendering process?
Not legally. In practice, however, more and more public project owners, landlords, and private clients are incorporating the PPE2 thresholds into their own specifications. For a project likely to be audited, the certificate is requested at the time of ordering.
