For those who want solar energy – unpleasant surprises
Andrius, a Vilnius resident, purchased the remote solar power plant a couple of years ago. He is still satisfied, though he admits that the investment has not yet been rewarded.
“I think the payback will be in 5-6 years. But it is psychologically fun to get zero bills because you have already forgotten the money you have invested, ”said Andrius Cherškus, a Vilnius resident.
However, there are those who are not successful in producing consumers. Although it has a house and even an outbuilding to build solar panels, there is no way to do so. Appealed to ESO but unsuccessfully.
“We pointed out the address, they looked at the map and said that everything in order, you can 10 kilowatts without problems. We completed the application, paid 41 euros, and after a week we received an answer that we could not, because the old line, the old substation and we have to pay more than 9 thousand, ”said Egidijus Šiaulys, a resident of Skuodas district.

According to ESO, Egidius simply failed with the place. According to their data, 19 out of 20 power producers are not required to pay for nothing.
“96-98 percent Drivers who produce customers are connected without any additional costs, ”assured ESO spokeswoman Rasa Juodkienė.
The Solar Energy Association has numbers other than ESO.
“It is probably dependent on the year, but it varies somewhere between 10-15 %. Everyone who wants to join their home receives an answer from ESO that an investment is needed or that those opportunities are not there at all, ”said Andrius Karazinas, President of the Lithuanian Solar Association.
In addition, consumers are encouraged to think that it may not be necessary to place the maximum solar panels on the building – ten kilowatts. It is up to ten still supported by the state. If you want more kilowatts, you will not receive state support.
If you need investment for power lines, the amount required by law is ESO and the user shares in half. But Egidijus still does not understand why $ 9,000 should pay. euros.
« The Ministry of Energy says we go to green energy, thank you so that we are not addicted to solar power plants, but on the other side there is such an obstacle as ESO, when there are no renovated networks since Soviet times, » the man resented.
Another solution is the remote solar power plant. The supply of Sun Parks is high, and from this week, new state support is already available – $ 15 million for remote power plants. euros.
“Support for 1 kilovat power is EUR 323. Residents can apply for this support by May 5 this year, ”said Vytautas Vrubliauskas, Deputy Director of the Environmental Project Management Agency.

Currently, a kilowate in Saulė Park costs around 900 euros, so support would be less than € 600.
« Parks are now more expensive in parks, but the payback is about 3-4 years, » Karazin said.
People are much more useful for support to build a solar power plant in their homes, although the support here is smaller.
“You have the ability to directly consume some of the electricity and when you use it directly, you do not have to pay the electricity network. Those who have at home will be able to build a battery, and those who will have in the parks are not such an opportunity, ”emphasized the president of the Lithuanian Solar Energy Association.
However, the remote solar power plants, especially those who do not want to go deep, also have the benefits.
« There is the best way to build a power plant there, ensuring the highest harvest, cared for it, you can transfer it to any unit of your real estate with an ESO contract, » Karazin said.
Applications for remote solar power plants will be available until May 5.
