Romanians interest in photovoltaic plants has increased 2 times in the first months of the year compared to the same period in 2024, and most homeowners (70%) want to cover their total monthly electricity consumption to achieve energy autonomy, according to data from Kilowat.
Thus, they install, from their own funds, photovoltaic panels of at least 5-6 kW and up to 15 kW, investing between 20,000 and over 50,000 RON in such systems, to reduce their energy bill by at least 70%.
For example, a 5-6 kW photovoltaic system with 5 kW storage, which costs 20,000 RON (4,000 euros), can provide total autonomy to a household with an average consumption of 300-500 kW/month.
Main investors in photovoltaic plants are families with average and above-average incomes, who live in houses of at least 80-100 sq m and have a high number of energy consumers in the household. They usually live in urban and peri-urban areas, especially Bucharest-Ilfov, Cluj, Sibiu, Timișoara, and Constanța.
