Solar panels
Solar panel subsidies in Luxembourg 2026: up to 10.000 € from the Klimabonus
The state pays a formula-based amount for solar panels used for your own consumption, up to 10.000 € from 15 kWp, plus up to 2.250 € for a battery. What a typical system gets, the conditions, and the steps.
- 10.000 €
- maximum, from 15 kWp
- 5.742 €
- for a 6 kWp system
- 2.250 €
- maximum for a battery
- 3 %
- VAT on supply and installation
The short version
- The aid follows a formula: 5.742 € for 6 kWp, 8.250 € for 10 kWp, and 10.000 € from 15 kWp.
- A battery gets up to 2.250 €: about 1.806 € for 5 kWh of usable capacity, the maximum from 9 kWh.
- The system must run in self-consumption: you give up the regulated feed-in tariff but can still sell surplus electricity at market price.
- Supply and installation on a private home are invoiced at 3 % VAT, and from 1 January 2027 the installer can deduct the aid from the invoice.
How much the state pays
For a system below 15 kWp, the aid is P × (1.155 − 1.155/35 × P) euros, where P is the peak power in kW to two decimals. From 15 kWp the aid is fixed at 10.000 €. The amount grows more slowly with each extra kWp, so the aid per kWp is highest on small systems.
| System size | Klimabonus 2026 |
|---|---|
| 3 kWp | 3.168 € |
| 6 kWp | 5.742 € |
| 8 kWp | 7.128 € |
| 10 kWp | 8.250 € |
| 12 kWp | 9.108 € |
| 15 kWp and more | 10.000 € |
Battery
For a battery below 9 kWh of usable capacity, the aid is Q × (500 − 500/18 × Q) euros, where Q is the usable capacity in kWh. From 9 kWh it is fixed at 2.250 €.
| Usable capacity | Klimabonus 2026 |
|---|---|
| 3 kWh | 1.250 € |
| 5 kWh | 1.806 € |
| 7 kWh | 2.139 € |
| 9 kWh and more | 2.250 € |
A home energy management system that steers the panels, battery, heat pump or charging station gets 500 €, for invoices from 1 October 2026.
Conditions
- Self-consumption: the system runs in self-consumption mode and you expressly give up the regulated feed-in tariff. You can still feed surplus electricity into the grid and sell it at market price.
- Size: at least 2 kWp. In an apartment building, more than 1,5 kWp per private unit.
- Mounting: on the roof or facade of the building, or built into the building envelope. Hybrid collectors that produce hot water and electricity count as solar panels.
- Battery: at least 2 kWh, connected to a solar system in self-consumption. A battery for an existing system is eligible too. A further battery for the same system is only eligible 5 years after the last subsidised one.
- Dates: the invoice must be dated between 4 January 2026 and 31 December 2029, or up to 31 December 2031 if the system was ordered by the end of 2029. Applications close on 31 December 2031.
- Compare quotesCompare the peak power in kWp, the battery’s usable capacity in kWh, the mounting, and how the system is set up for self-consumption.
- Sign the orderIf you want the aid deducted from the invoice, do not pay a deposit of more than 30 % of the final price including VAT.
- InstallationThe panels go on the roof or facade, or are built into the building envelope. The invoice must be dated between 4 January 2026 and 31 December 2029.
- AidEither the installer deducts it from the invoice (pre-financing), or you apply to the Guichet unique des aides au logement after the invoice, by 31 December 2031 at the latest.
Pre-financing: the aid deducted from the invoice
Pre-financing is optional. A company listed in the register of intermediary applicants files the application through MyGuichet.lu and passes the full aid on to you as a lower price. The current pre-financing scheme moves into the Klimabonus 2026 on 1 January 2027. It does not apply to a system financed by leasing, when you paid a deposit of more than 30 % of the final price including VAT, or to a battery added to an existing system: those go through the standard application after the invoice. You cannot file two applications for the same system.
Commune top-ups
Many communes add their own aid for solar panels, either a share of the state aid or a fixed amount, with a cap that differs from one commune to the next. Far fewer communes pay anything for a battery. Many regulations cap state and commune aid together at 100 % of the cost, and most expect the commune application within six to twelve months of the state's decision. Klima-Agence's aid simulator shows the amounts for your commune.
3 % VAT
The supply and installation of solar panels on private housing are directly subject to the super-reduced 3 % VAT rate, so the installer invoices 3 % from the start.
What to ask for in your quotes
- The peak power in kWp and, for a battery, the usable capacity in kWh: both set the aid.
- How the system is set up for self-consumption, and what happens to surplus electricity.
- Whether the installer offers pre-financing, and a deposit of no more than 30 % if you want it.
- Separate lines for panels, inverter, battery, mounting and electrical work.

Questions
How much aid does a 6 kWp system get?
5.742 €: 6 × (1.155 − 1.155/35 × 6) = 6 × 957 euros. A 10 kWp system gets 8.250 €.
Can I still sell my surplus electricity?
Yes, at market price. What you give up is the regulated feed-in tariff: the Klimabonus requires self-consumption and an express waiver of that tariff.
Is a battery for an existing solar system subsidised?
Yes, if it has at least 2 kWh of usable capacity and is connected to a system in self-consumption. You apply after the invoice; pre-financing does not cover this case.
Can the installer deduct the aid from the invoice?
Yes, through pre-financing, if the installer or another company is listed in the register of intermediary applicants. It is excluded for leasing and when the deposit is above 30 % of the final price including VAT.
Is the aid available in an apartment building?
Yes. The system must exceed 1,5 kWp per private unit, and the co-owners apply together.
