\n\tWith the region of Styria considering making PV mandatory on all new buildings, the nation\u2019s Climate Fund will support PV and storage projects in agriculture and forestry. Applications can be submitted by November 2020 \u2013 or until the pot is empty.

New buildings in Styria may soon have to be designed for rooftop solar, with installation mandatory.

The regional government of Styria, in southern Austria, is considering a housebuilding reform package which could make PV systems mandatory on the roofs of new buildings.
\u00a0
The policy package proposes mandating building design which would support a kilowatt of solar generation capacity for every unit of roofspace.
\u00a0
The news comes as the Austrian Climate Fund this week opened a rebate scheme for PV and energy storage systems used in agriculture and forestry. The program will offer subsidies for PV systems with a 5-50 kW capacity and for storage systems with a capacity in kilowatt-hours up to three times the generation capacity of the rooftop array.
\u00a0
Backed by a \u20ac6 million budget, which may increase next year, applications for subsidy can be made until November 20 next year \u2013 or until the funds run out.
\u00a0
How it works<\/strong>
\u00a0
\u201cOnly newly installed photovoltaic systems \u2013 with and without electricity storage \u2013 as well as electricity storage as retrofitting for existing photovoltaic systems will be subsidized,\u201d stated the Climate Fund. \u201cThe installation of used PV modules and used power storage is not encouraged.\u201d
\u00a0
The subsidy available is \u20ac275 per installed kW and \u20ac375 for building-integrated PV systems. For storage systems the rebate available per kilowatt-hour of usable capacity ranges from \u20ac350 for the smallest units \u2013 with a capacity up to 5 kWh \u2013 to \u20ac250 for the largest (20 kWh and above).
\u00a0
Applications must be submitted online and payments will be made after project installation.
\u00a0
Federal association Photovoltaic Austria (PVA) welcomed the new fund. \u201cEspecially for electricity storage systems, the investment costs per kilowatt-hour decrease with increasing storage size. Therefore, the staggering of the subsidy rate depending on the storage size guarantees a very efficient use of the subsidies,\u201d said PVA managing director Vera Immitzer.
\u00a0
The Climate Fund in Austria also promotes the general installation of small PV systems, with a capacity of up to 5 kW. High demand means the subsidy budget has already been raised several times this year and amounts to more than \u20ac8 million. The PVA has criticized the process of augmenting the budget and said supplying sufficient funds to start with would allow applicants to plan better.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[834],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAustria mulls mandatory PV as new rebates for solar and storage launched | Solplanet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The power of the sun is the future of our planet.
