Greece streamlines solar panel installation procedures to accelerate green transition

In response to concerns that excessive bureaucracy is hindering Greece’s green transition, especially in the area of solar panel installations, the Ministry of Environment has simplified the procedures for setting up photovoltaic (PV) systems. Under the new regulations, installations—both with and without energy storage—will require less documentation when installed on industrial, commercial, and office buildings, as well as future artificial structures.

The updated procedures eliminate the need for a producer’s certificate from the Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy, and Water (RAAEY) and an environmental permit. Businesses will now be able to directly contact the relevant grid administrator to receive a final connection offer within three months.

These proposed changes are set to be discussed and voted on in the Greek parliament. Meanwhile, the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies (HELAPCO) reports that solar panel installations in Greece are on track to achieve a new record, with over 900 MWp of photovoltaic connections completed in the first half of 2024. This marks a 43.7% increase in capacity compared to the same period last year. Notably, new installations of residential photovoltaic systems have quadrupled compared to 2023, thanks in part to the “Photovoltaics on the Roof” program funded by the “National Recovery and Resilience Plan” Greece 2.0.

These developments signify a positive step forward for Greece’s green transition, enhancing the country’s commitment to renewable energy.
