Photovoltaic solar panels are increasingly part of renovation packages. While not always eligible for the same renovation-specific subsidies as insulation, most countries offer dedicated solar incentives. Italy's Bonus Casa provides a 50% tax credit. Germany offers KfW loans. France has a feed-in tariff premium. Belgium's regions offer varying levels of support. The economics improve significantly when combined with a heat pump (self-consumed solar powers the pump).
| Country | Scheme | Rate | Typical Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇫🇷 France | Feed-in tariff + TVA 10% | Feed-in tariff 0.13 EUR/kWh + reduced VAT | 1,500-3,000 EUR premium |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | KfW 270 loan | No direct grant, favorable financing | Low-interest loan |
| 🇮🇹 Italy | Bonus Casa 50% | 50% tax credit | 3,000-6,000 EUR |
| 🇧🇪 Belgium | Regional premiums | Varies by region | 1,000-4,000 EUR |
| 🇪🇸 Spain | IBI tax reduction + regional | Municipal IBI tax reduction 25-50% | 500-3,000 EUR |
It depends on the country. In Italy, solar panels can be a 'driven work' under Superbonus when combined with a driving work. In France, PV panels are separate from MaPrimeRenov but benefit from reduced VAT and feed-in tariffs. In Germany, KfW 270 provides dedicated solar financing.
