New rules for solar energy money
166
The ministry changes the rules for solar money. From the year 2027, small solar systems get no money. The state wants to support energy storage instead. In summer, midday often brings too much power. Evening then lacks this power. Storage keeps the power for the evening. This makes power cheaper and helps the power grid.
The system for requests also changes. Before, the fastest person won. The money was gone in minutes. In the future, people make the request after the building work. This is like the worker bonus. Special systems still get money. These are systems on parking lots or noise walls. Buyers of parts from Europe get an extra bonus.
The minister wants to support old systems too. People can add a storage later and get money for it. Experts say: Prices for solar systems drop a lot. Therefore, people need less help from the state. The last normal date for money this year is the 8. October.
