The aid plan is managed by IDEA (Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings) and is likely to be increased to 1,320 million euros for the installation of self-consumption, renewable air conditioning and batteries.
These aids can be applied for until December 31, 2023, and will be attended in order of presentation.

How to request assistance for installing solar panels?
After the approval of the regulations concerning self-consumption of energy, there are several autonomous communities that launched subsidies for the installation of solar panels for self-consumption and subsidies or discounts on tax payments to encourage the installation of this type of technology and thus be able to contribute to the decarbonization of our homes.
As we already mentioned, help officially started in June. However, it is the autonomous communities that manage it and have to activate the request in addition to home users.
The total budget of each community is indicated in the BOE, but then we took the opportunity to leave you the one from the Valencian Community, which is what interests us.

It is important to bear in mind that each autonomous community has implemented several plans within the framework of its energy policies aimed at promoting the use of renewable energies.
On the 27th of September, the Instituto Valenciano de Competitividade Empresarial approved an aid plan worth 67.3 million euros request assistance from your electronic headquarters.
In the terms of granting the aid, it is specified that taxpayers 20% of the value of amounts invested in installations carried out in houses in the Valencian Community can be deducted.
