Czechia deployed 484 MW of new solar installation in the first half of the year, according to data obtained by Solární Asociace. it composed mostly by on-grid solar system and also very big segment of Hybrid PV System.
The installed capacity of 484 MW in the first half of 2024 is in line with the 487 MW installed during the same period in 2023, but solar battery storage percentage has grown significantly
The Solar Association attributed the decline in solar panel installations to the "overall calming of the situation on the energy market," a drop in energy prices, and changes to the country's New Green Saving subsidies.
Czechia's solar market has mainly grown in the commercial segment this year, with corporate solar installations benefiting from support under the National Recovery Plan. The PV association said that subsidies from the Modernization Fund have become available this year, with plans to extend investment support to small commercial projects up to 50 kW. In the first half of the year, 25 power plants with capacities exceeding 1 MW solar system each began supplying electricity to Czechia's grid, including multiple ground-mount installations.
