2009: Swedish Gov’t to help solar energy

Here is me, trying some auto-tran, to bring you some last-year’s news.

Regulation (2009:689) on state aid for solar cells

To contribute to the transformation of the energy and industrial development in the energy sector, the government decided in June to introduce a state support for the installation of all types of grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The support may be up to 60 percent of costs for project costs, labor and certain materials. For large enterprises, aid cover more than 55 percent of the cost. It is the investing in solar systems that can be supported and the application review by the provincial government in the county in which the system will be installed.

The regulation came into force on 1 July 2009.
