According to ILB, solar PV home storage systems, with a capacity of 2 kWh, will be subsidized. The subsidy consists of a non-repayable loan covering up to 50% of the investment, for a maximum of €7,000. Applications are accepted by ILB via the customer portal on its homepage. The program runs until December 31, 2022.
