Swedes see obvious benefits from having a solar power plant at home. However, over a third (!) find the process too complicated. "It's sad," Werner says.

There is a great interest in having a solar power plant at home. This is stated by the swedish solar energy organization after a survey. Nearly half of those surveyed believe they have their own responsibility in the energy transition and a whopping 64 percent believe solar energy will be crucial to the country's future energy supply.

However, more than one in three people say it is too difficult to get a home facility.
"It's sad that people think it's complicated to buy solar cells," anna Werner, CEO of the trade association Svensk Solenergi, said during the survey.

The study shows that it is the process of acquiring solar cells, including seeking financial support, that is the culprit in this context. Now it will be made easier by a new proposal within the government's budget.
"The complicated PV support is gone for private individuals now and the government has instead proposed a new green deduction from the end of the year. In addition - you can already use the usual root deduction for installing solar cells," says Anna Werner.

She sees it as a basic premise that homeowners need to use the root deduction to install green technology in the home.
"A PV plant not only lowers electricity costs, it can also benefit local entrepreneurship and facilitates the transition to a renewable energy system.
