Permit to install solar panels
Installing solar panels is a promising way to ensure energy independence for businesses, reduce electricity costs for individuals, and create a solid foundation for further promoting environmental initiatives. Since this process involves the production and management of electricity (in particular, through the conclusion of contracts with recipients of solar electricity supply services), a mandatory prerequisite for such installation is obtaining permission from a state authority.
What is a permit for solar panels?
In Ukraine, economic activity in the field of electricity (including alternative energy sources) is regulated in accordance with the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On the Electricity Market”, the Law of Ukraine “On Alternative Energy Sources”. Moreover, such activity is subject to mandatory licensing, the features of which are also provided for in such a regulatory legal act as the Licensing Conditions for Conducting Economic Activity in the Production of Electricity (in accordance with the Resolution of the National Commission for the Regulation of the National Commission for the Regulation of the National Commission for the Production of Electricity of Ukraine dated December 27, 2017).
Therefore, a special permit for solar panels is a corresponding license issued by the National Commission for State Regulation in the Spheres of Energy and Utilities (hereinafter referred to as the NEURC), if the applicant meets all the necessary conditions. It should be understood that a permit for the installation of solar panels is not required in all cases, but only when it comes to activities for the production of solar electricity with the subsequent conclusion of contracts with consumers for the purpose of sale and profit.
Procedure for obtaining a permit to install solar panels
The procedure for obtaining a license for solar batteries in Ukraine is multi-stage and involves the preparation and submission of mandatory documents, such as:
- an application for obtaining a permit, the form of which is approved in accordance with the Resolution of the NCREKP dated December 27, 2017;
- copies of legal documents on the ownership of means of electricity production (solar batteries and other auxiliary equipment), their technical passports, network connection schemes with the indication of metering devices;
- copies of documents of the company or other business entity applying for a license (charter, copies of passports of founders, ultimate beneficial owners, etc.);
- confirmation of the absence of ties between the person's activity and the aggressor country;
- description (list) of submitted documents in two copies;
- other necessary documentation, which may be requested for verification by the NCRECP.
A person can submit the documents specified above either through the Action in a digital version, by applying in person, through a representative to the NEURC reception center, or by sending by e-mail.
