Subsidies supporting solar panel and battery storage investments have been paid out to more than 3,000 households, the Energy Ministry said in a post on Facebook on Thursday.
Households whose applications have been cleared in the scheme, launched in January, could be awarded HUF 83bn in subsidies, the ministry said. It noted that the funding allocation had been raised by HUF 30bn in the summer amid strong interest.
The scheme could support solar panel and battery storage investments at over 25,000 homes.
Under the scheme, households may apply for up to HUF 5m in support, covering two-thirds of investment cost.
More than 285,000 homes in Hungary have solar panels.
