The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Bulgaria announced for public discussion a procedure by which households on the territory of the country will be able to benefit from financing for the construction of photovoltaic systems. The project describes the documents required for application, as well as the criteria.
Application conditions
All individuals with Bulgarian or European citizenship or permanent resident status in Bulgaria will have access to the financing program. Applicants must live in their own single-family home or their own home in a multi-family building.
