Who can apply?
Three groups can benefit from the subsidy:
- Applicants who net-bill and have not previously benefited from the program
- Applicants who settle on a net-metering system, i.e. discounts, and have not previously used the program, but only on the condition that they agree to the so-called net-billing system of accounting for electricity produced
- applicants who account for the electricity produced in the system of discounts, so-called net-metering, and have benefited from subsidies for photovoltaic micro-installation, among others, from the "My Current" program, provided that they have connected and paid for the installation after 01.02.2020, have changed the billing system of electricity produced to the so-called net-billing, and want to purchase an additional device covered by the program
In this edition, heat pumps are also taken into account

Thus, the subsidy only covers those who use net-billing or are ready to switch to this system. However, the support does not apply to owners of solid fuel stoves and boilers, with the exception of a wood biomass boiler with reduced particulate emissions of less than or equal to 20 mg per cubic meter that meets ecodesign requirements.
Subsidies cannot be provided for installations financed or carried out with other public funds, including the Clean Air Program. So you need to decide which form of subsidy you want to use. Subsidies provided under the "My Current" program are exempt from income tax.
