Until recently, all methods of private use of renewable energy sources (RES) were mainly associated with single-family houses. Advancing technology allows for the application of such solutions also in the case of multi-family houses and apartment buildings.
Micro-RES installations as an opportunity for lower bills in apartment buildings
The establishment of the tenant prosumer institution will facilitate the construction of micro-RES installations in multi-family buildings and allow for the appropriate benefits. Previously, this was included in single-family law. Both residents and community managements will be able to apply for prosumer status. This is a necessary step in order to be able to obtain financial resources directly into the designated account from the surplus of generated energy.
What benefits can residents of apartment buildings gain?
Thanks to the changes, residents of apartment buildings can have significantly more benefits associated with producing electricity for their own use. In the context of high electricity prices, this is of great importance. Everything indicates that soon owners and managers will be able to start applying for compensation for the energy produced into the designated bank account. The process will take place in two stages. This solution is attractive in the era of pro-ecological attitudes and rising electricity prices. Photovoltaic panels will be located on the building, but their power must not exceed the connection power of the entire facility. Both installations that were made before the finalization of the regulations and those that will be added in the future will be included in the whole process.
