Those interested in installing Photovoltaics should be in haste given the fact that next Friday the special platform of DEDDIE will open to receive applications for the new program of the Ministry of Environment and Energy.

The only prerequisite for inclusion in the "Photovoltaics on the Roof" program is the speed of registration of the application, as the Program will remain "open" until the available resources per category are exhausted.

Each natural person can submit a single application, for a single residence - main or secondary - which has an active domestic electricity supply. Farmers can submit one application for their residence and only one application for agricultural electricity supply.

The photovoltaic station can be placed on the roof or roof of a building (which also includes canopies, terraces, facades, shade and pergolas), in auxiliary areas of the building or agricultural land (e.g. warehouses and parking areas), or in terrain.

The total budget of the program, amounting to 200 million euros, from the resources of the Recovery and Resilience Fund, is divided into four categories:

  • Exclusively for vulnerable households: 35 million euros.
  • Exclusively for citizens with individual income <= €20,000 or family income <= €40,000: €85 million.
  • Exclusively for citizens with individual income > €20,000 or family income > €40,000: €50 million.
  • Exclusively for professional farmers or special status farmers: EUR 30 million.

The aim of the program is to fully cover the cost of the battery and the development and installation costs of the photovoltaic system. For the first two categories, the battery subsidy is 100%, while for the third and fourth categories it is 90%.

Households will be obliged to install a photovoltaic station with a battery, while farmers are given the option of installing a photovoltaic station with or without a battery.

The maximum installed power of the photovoltaic plant to be subsidized is set at 10.8kW. Accordingly, regarding the battery, the maximum subsidy is set at 10.8kWh.

The battery should be able to supply the power of the RES station for at least one hour.

It is recalled that the basic condition for submitting an application is that the applicant has already signed a Connection Agreement with DEDDIE but that the photovoltaic station has not been connected.
