New Green Savings is the most effective and longest-lasting subsidy programme for energy savings in family and apartment buildings. The core of the New Green Savings Programme is the reduction of energy consumption of residential buildings, i.e. the renovation and construction of low-energy family and apartment buildings. However, there is an increasing emphasis on the use of renewable energy sources. The basic portfolio of support is complemented by measures aimed at preparing buildings for ongoing climate change and motivating the public to implement energy-saving measures.

Although the core of the New Green Savings Programme remains the same, the next phase brings a number of innovations. The most important of these are the extension of support to apartment buildings throughout the Czech Republic. There was also extension of supported measures, e.g. o Heat pump water heating. Households will also benefit financially when replacing their heat source. A very interesting novelty is the bonus system. If you combine several energy-saving measures, you will receive additional funding on top of the standard subsidy.

The New Green Savings state subsidy for the purchase of photovoltaic power plants is intended for all citizens, owners of family and apartment houses from all over the Czech Republic. People who permanently live in holiday homes can also apply if they can prove that they have been using the property for permanent residence for at least two years. Subsidies may be applied for by purchasers of single-family houses or apartment buildings, persons who hold the right to build, and apartment building unit owners’ associations or authorized unit owners. Applicants can be owners of both completed buildings and new buildings under construction. However, for new buildings, the condition for approval of the subsidy is the approval of the building permit, which must be submitted within 9 months of the application for the subsidy.

Our proposed PV plants are always implemented in accordance with the conditions of the subsidy call. We will handle the administrative part of the grant application for you.

The New Green Savings Grant Programme is valid for the period 2021 – 2025.

Basic installation of 2 kWp with standard inverter – 40 000 CZK
Basic installation of 2 kWp with hybrid inverter – 60 000 CZK
Basic installation of 2 kWp with efficient use of heat pump – 100 000 CZK
For each additional 1 kWp of installed capacity – 10 000 CZK
For 1 kWh of electric storage system – 10 000 CZK

Applications can be submitted until 30. June 2025 until 15:00 or until the allocation is exhausted. You must also provide documentation on the implementation of the project by this date.

It is possible, but it is necessary to justify why the panels cannot be placed on the applicant’s building and to document the consent of the owner of the building on which the panels will be placed, for the entire period of sustainability, i.e. 10 years.

The photovoltaic system must be located on a house, other structure serving a complementary function to the house, or other special structure adapted so as not to restrict the growth of vegetation and its maintenance.

The overall length of the process is mainly influenced by the administration, which is in the order of several weeks to months. We will, however, keep you updated on what we are working on at all times. The installation of the plant itself is very quick and easy. It ranges roughly from 2 to 5 days in length, always on a pre-agreed date.

The photovoltaic panels supplied by us are guaranteed for 25 years and should not fall below 80% efficiency. But the PV panel itself lasts much longer. The lifetime of the plant is around 30 years.

Of course, photovoltaic panels are manufactured and tested to withstand harsh natural conditions such as hail. PV panels are thus equipped with special tempered glass. However, it is possible to insure not only the damage to the panels but also other risks associated with the operation of the photovoltaic power plant. These are e.g. damage caused by windstorm, fire, lightning, theft, etc.

Photovoltaic panels are naturally washed by rain, so there is no need for special cleaning. With long-term dustiness, production losses are only minimal. Similarly, in winter, the snow will not stay on the panels for very long in most cases because the surface is smooth and the snow will slide off easily. However, if the panels are installed flat, then they lose their self-cleaning ability and need to be maintained as needed.

Today, a photovoltaic power plant can be safely installed on all types of roofing. It is also possible to install the panels on both pitched and flat roofs. Depending on the type of roof or roofing material, a special fixing system is selected. Most often, the panels on a pitched roof are anchored into the roof beams.

Several factors influence the selection of the appropriate PV plant capacity. Most important are the technical possibilities of the roof and the amount of energy consumption in the home. The ideal orientation of the roof is of course to the south, but even with a slight deviation to the east or west, the power loss is minimal. For higher household energy consumption, it is then advisable to use the energy storage in batteries with a lifetime of more than 6,000 charges.

The photovoltaic plant accumulates the energy produced either for heating hot water or to store the excess energy in batteries. If the power plant is running and its energy is being used, then both systems are independent of the electricity from the grid and work even if the grid is down. With a system that uses batteries, it is possible to operate even if the mains power fails for a period of time before you run out of battery power.

When installing a PV plant with energy storage in water, the existing hot water storage tank does not need to be changed in the vast majority of cases. However, it should be an electric or combination boiler. The volume of the boiler is also important. According to the conditions of the New Green Savings subsidy, the water volume per installed 1 kWp must be 80 l. The volume of the boiler must be greater than 125 l.

The hybrid photovoltaic system uses the aforementioned energy storage in batteries. It is thus made up of photovoltaic panels and an inverter that converts the electricity produced into electricity suitable for consumption. And unused energy is stored in battery storage containing high-end gel batteries that last up to 6,000 charges. In the implementation of PV plants we mostly use three-phase hybrid voltage inverters of GoodWe brand and powerful high-voltage, modular batteries Pylontech, with which we have the best experience.
