Solenergi for næringsbygg

Oslo kommune Klimaetaten offers "Støtte til solenergi på næringsbygg" (Support for solar energy on commercial buildings), a grant towards installing solar panels or solar collectors on the roofs and facades of commercial buildings in Oslo.

Who can apply: the page states "Bedrifter og eiere av næringsbygg kan få støtte til å installere solceller eller solfangere på tak og fasader." (Businesses and owners of commercial buildings can receive support to install solar cells or solar collectors on roofs and facades.)

Funding: the grant covers "inntil 20 prosent av kostnadene" (up to 20 percent of the costs). Support is capped at a per-capacity rate — "Det gis støtte på maks 3 500 kr per installert kWp" (support is given at a maximum of 3,500 kroner per installed kWp) — and the total ceiling per recipient is stated as "Maksimalt støttebeløp er 3 millioner kroner" (the maximum support amount is 3 million kroner).

The scheme is competitive: "Tilskuddet er konkurransebasert, og prosjekter vurderes ut fra hvor kostnadseffektive de er." (The subsidy is competition-based, and projects are assessed based on how cost-effective they are.) The page also states "Ordningen er konkurransebasert med søknadsfrist 3. april." (The scheme is competition-based with an application deadline of 3 April.)

Application deadline: the page notes "Neste søknadsfrist er 1. oktober." (The next application deadline is 1 October.) The deadline dates are printed without a year, so no machine-readable closing date is recorded here.

Restriction: "Ordningen gjelder kun solenergianlegg som ikke allerede har fått annen offentlig støtte, for eksempel fra Enova." (The scheme applies only to solar energy installations that have not already received other public support, for example from Enova.)
