What is a plug-in PV system and what are the advantages of using it?

Discover the answers by watching a video created by the EUKI project SUNRISE – Prosumer Solar Energy. This project is being implemented by Habitat Bulgaria in collaboration with the lead organization, Initiative for Housing in Eastern Europe (IWO), and partners including the Lithuanian Consumers Alliance (LCA), Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI), the German Solar Energy Society (DGS), and Habitat Macedonia. The project's primary objective is to address and overcome barriers hindering the adoption by households in multi-family residential buildings of renewable energy, with a specific focus on solar energy.

The project advocates for the implementation of tools that facilitate and incentivize households to adopt plug-in PV systems. This includes the introduction of net metering for energy production and consumption on an annual basis. The project aims to contribute to the European Union's ambitious targets of achieving a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and attaining carbon neutrality by 2050. Its importance is  evident in the current context, where soaring energy prices put an emphasis on  utilizing renewable energy for electricity generation, even at the household level.
