Hanoi offers up to 6 million VND subsidy for rooftop solar installation

According to the latest resolution from the Hanoi People's Council, the capital has officially issued a practical subsidy policy to encourage green energy development among residents. This policy creates favorable conditions for households wishing to invest in self-produced, self-consumed rooftop solar systems combined with energy storage, helping reduce stress on the urban power grid and protect the ecological environment.

The policy takes effect immediately upon issuance and lasts until December 31, 2030, with an estimated total budget allocation of nearly 159 billion VND.

Details of Rooftop Solar Installation Subsidies in Hanoi

Based on the resolution passed by the City People's Council, direct budget subsidies for households are specified as follows:

• Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems: For systems with a capacity of 1 kWp or more, households will receive an incentive of 1 million VND per installed kWp. The maximum subsidy for this category is 3 million VND per household (equivalent to a capacity of 3 kWp or greater).

• Energy Storage Systems: When a household installs an integrated battery storage system with a minimum capacity of 1 kWh, the city provides an additional 1 million VND per kWh of capacity. The maximum incentive for energy storage is also 3 million VND (corresponding to a storage capacity of 3 kWh or more).

Thus, if a household deploys both a photovoltaic system and energy storage batteries, the total maximum subsidy can reach up to 6 million VND.

Eligible Beneficiaries and Policy Requirements

The subsidy policy applies to households owning individual residential properties in Hanoi. To qualify for this financial support, homeowners must meet several specific requirements:

1. Limit on benefits: Each individual residential building is entitled to receive subsidy funds only once throughout the implementation period (until the end of 2030).

2. Compliance with legal regulations: Homeowners must complete registration or notification procedures for power source development in accordance with current regulations on self-produced and self-consumed rooftop solar.

3. Long-term commitment: Households must submit a written commitment to operate and utilize the system continuously for a minimum of 3 years from the date of fund disbursement.

4. Application receiving authority: The People's Committee of the commune/ward where the property is located directly receives, reviews applications, and issues approval decisions for subsidy disbursement.

Assessing the Efficiency of Rooftop Solar with Storage

Combining solar photovoltaic panels with a storage system enables families to take control of their domestic electricity supply, especially during evening peak hours or periods of erratic weather. Excess electricity generated during the day is stored in the battery for reuse rather than wasted.

At SVP Solar, we always advise clients to carefully assess their household's actual load demand before installation. The actual savings and payback period of each home depend entirely on roof area, sun exposure direction, and monthly consumption profiles; therefore, they can only be accurately determined after an on-site survey by our technical team.
