Second Photovoltaic Funding Call Before Start

As part of the second photovoltaic funding call starting next Monday, June 23, up to 20 million euros in funding will be awarded, including returned residual funds. New is the so-called "Made-in-Europe" bonus, which aims to support European photovoltaic production. Information on application submission and certification for manufacturers is available on the website of the EAG processing office.

For photovoltaic systems built with components of European value creation, the investment grant increases with the bonus by up to 30 percent. For modules, inverters, and energy storage, the surcharge is 10 percent each.

Review of the First Photovoltaic Funding Call

The funding pot endowed with 40 million euros for the first call was almost entirely exhausted, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs on Friday. The majority of applications for smaller systems were for PV systems with storage, accounting for more than 80 percent. Most applications came from Upper Austria (1,289), followed by Lower Austria (1,072) and Styria (1,055). The largest portion of the funding went to Upper Austria with around 9.9 million euros, Styria received about 6.7 million euros, and Lower Austria around 6 million euros. A third funding round is planned for autumn 2025.
