Romania cuts rooftop solar module VAT rate to boost domestic uptake

Romania has announced a reduction in value-added tax (VAT) for solar PV modules to 5% from 19% to boost self-consumption and solar uptake across the country.

The tax reduction also applies to solar thermal panels and low-emission heat pumps. It is extended to both residential systems and installations on buildings owned or managed by state or local authorities. Buildings owned by commercial companies under the management of local or state authorities are exempted from the tax cut. Recently Romania has been highlighted as one of the most promising solar PV markets in Europe.
