Flanders to reestablish subsidies for rooftop PV
Four years after the expiry of environment-friendly certificates for PV systems up to 10 kW, the authorities in Belgium's Flanders region intend to support solar once again-- yet this time in the kind or rebates. A brand-new scheme will likely go into force in 2021, with as much as EUR1,500 to be granted per PV system.
