Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ announcement on ΔΕΘ of a new PV subsidy program generated a lot of interest.
As it turns out, Mr. Mitsotakis’ statement concerns the installation of 250,000 small photovoltaic systems (10 kW). In particular, these are about 100,000 photovoltaic cells on the roofs of residential buildings, 75,000 on the roofs of enterprises and 75,000 on the roofs of farms.
“The 2.7 gigawatt space is being created so they can cover part of their electricity needs generated by the sun. The subsidy will be provided in the amount of 40% to 60%. Later it will be announced how it will be possible to obtain financing,” said Mr. Yiannis Hatzisalatas, financial consultant, speaking on the TV channel OPEN. The expert said that due to the announcement at this stage, the ongoing projects for the installation of small photovoltaic systems have been frozen, as now everyone is waiting for subsidies.
As for installing the system on the roof of the house and turning the process of obtaining solar energy and processing it into electricity into a business, not everything is clear. Despite the initial assertion that the consumer will resell electricity to the supplier, in reality everything is different. “First, it will be necessary to cover the needs of the household so that electricity comes from our own energy piggy bank,” said Giannis Hatsisalatas.
In essence, the energy produced by photovoltaic cells will be offset (subtracted) from the household’s electricity consumption bill. The resale of electricity (even if it is in excess) is out of the question.
