Every fourth consumer plans to expand PV installation

Already every fourth owner of a photovoltaic installation plans its expansion. The need to produce more clean energy, save money and search for new RES solutions are the main reasons, results from the Alliance RES study carried out by ARC Rynek i Opinia.

The boom in photovoltaic installations in Poland is so big that more and more consumers are not only considering such an investment but in the case of already completed projects – also about its expansion. This applies to both domestic, business, and agricultural power plants. All because of the growing demand for energy and the increase in the price of electricity produced in a traditional way.

"The expansion of photovoltaic installations is becoming a natural process, as more and more households in Poland have new electrical devices, such as air conditioning, air purifiers, or equipment needed for remote work. In addition, their use in homes has increased especially in the last year during the lockdown. Seeing the growing bills for traditional electricity, the conscious consumer will simply look for energy that is cheaper and healthier for the environment, "Jakub Jadziewicz, Member of the Management Board of Alliance RES, said.

This can be seen in the motivations for the expansion of PV installations of the surveyed consumers. 31 percent of them declare that they want to produce more energy. The second most frequently mentioned factor is savings. Every tenth respondent stated that he plans to install a new space or building with the installation. In addition, responses such as increasing energy efficiency, the desire for additional income, or independence from the electricity supplier were indicated.
