State subsidies for solar thermal energy in Macedonia
Since 2007 the Macedonian government maintains its Programme for partial subsidising of purchased and installed solar thermal collectors in households. In 2017 the available amount has been increased from MKD 6 million (EUR 100,000) to MDK 16 million (EUR 260,000). Applicants can get up to 30% of the costs for buying and installing solar water heaters, but not more than EUR 300 per system. The applicant has to send the bill for the purchase and installation of the solar thermal system to the Macedonian Ministry of Economy. The allocation procedure follows the principle “first come, first serve“.
