The business purpose must therefore require the use of a vehicle. • In addition, anyone is also eligible to apply who proves, through funding — via the SolarPLUS funding programme of the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe (Senate Department for Economy, Energy and Public Enterprises) — of a battery storage system (Module C) and/or solar system bonuses Module D1; D2; D3 (except Module D4 plug-in PV modules) that is installed together with a newly installed photovoltaic system connected to the distribution grid, that the funded storage system/PV system is used to supply the funded charging infrastructure and/or the funded e-vehicle. • Companies from Berlin Applicants must have a registered office, a place of business or a branch in Berlin. • Project not yet started Before the IBT GmbH confirms receipt of the application, work on the measure to be funded must not yet have begun. Ordering a vehicle, signing the leasing agreement, placing an order for the purchase/installation of charging infrastructure, or accepting an offer already counts as the start of the project. • Minimum registration period and minimum period of use The minimum registration period for the funded vehicle is generally 12 months. The same applies to the charging infrastructure with regard to the minimum period of use from the date the charging infrastructure is put into operation. • Transparenzdatenbank (transparency database) transparenzdatenbank.berlin.de/ For legal entities (e.g. GmbH, UG, AG), recording company data in the Transparenzdatenbank (transparency database) of the Berlin Senate Department is mandatory. • De-minimis requirements <https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjAmZOn6rCAAxVp4AIHHX0iDMIQFnoECBQQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Feur-lex.europa.eu%2FLexUriServ%2FLexUriServ.do%3Furi%3DOJ%3AL%3A2013%3A352%3A0001%3A0008%3ADE%3APDF&usg=AOvVaw13k1CZDG1_LkwITjQ45EGp&opi=89978449> • The funding is granted as de minimis aid.
