There is great interest in having a solar power system at home. This is stated by the organization Svensk Solenergi after a survey. Nearly half of those surveyed believe that they have their own responsibility in the energy transition and as many as 64 percent believe that solar energy will be crucial for the country's future energy supply.
On the other hand, more than one in three people answer that it is too complicated to get a system for the home.
– It is sad that people think it is complicated to buy solar cells, says Anna Werner, CEO of the industry organization Svensk Solenergi, in connection with the survey.
The survey shows that it is the process of acquiring solar cells, including applying for financial support, that is the problem in this context. This will now be facilitated by a new proposal in the government's budget.
– The complicated solar cell support is gone for private individuals now and the government has instead proposed a new green deduction from the turn of the year. In addition - already now you can use the regular 'rotavdrag' (tax deduction for renovation, conversion and extension) for the installation of solar cells, says Anna Werner.
She sees it as a basic prerequisite that homeowners need to use the 'rotavdrag' to install green technology in their homes.
– A solar cell system not only gives you reduced electricity costs, it can also benefit local businesses and facilitates the transition to a renewable energy system.
