Solar Incentives in Poland 2026: Mój Prąd, Net-Billing & Clean Air
Last updated July 2026
Poland supports solar mainly through national grants run by NFOŚiGW (Mój Prąd, Czyste Powietrze, Agroenergia) and a thermo-modernisation income-tax deduction, while new prosumers are settled under net-billing rather than net-metering. Mój Prąd's main formula has closed — check the official source. Systems are notified to the local DSO (OSD). Confirm current terms officially.
Poland supports household and business solar mainly through national grant schemes run by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW) and its regional funds, alongside an income-tax deduction for home energy upgrades and a value-based prosumer settlement system for surplus electricity. The flagship rooftop grant, Moj Prad, has closed its main formula and moved into transitional/storage-focused support, while new prosumers are settled under net-billing rather than the older net-metering model. Because scheme budgets, rates and application windows change frequently and several programmes open and close in waves, exact figures, deadlines and current openings should always be confirmed at the official administering source before relying on them.
Registering your solar system on the grid
Microinstallation notification to the DSO (zgloszenie mikroinstalacji do OSD)
Before feeding solar electricity to the grid, a household or business must notify its local electricity distribution system operator (OSD/DSO) of the new microinstallation. The operator reviews the notification and technical documentation, inspects the installation, fits protective equipment and a bi-directional (remote-read) meter, and connects the unit at its own cost. To export power and gain prosumer status the owner must also have or update a comprehensive supply contract (or separate sale and distribution agreements). Refusals or delays can be appealed to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE).
Moj Prad
Administered by: National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOSiGW), under the Ministry of Climate and Environment
A national grant scheme that co-finances residential rooftop photovoltaic micro-installations and, in later editions, add-ons such as home energy and heat storage and energy-management systems, paid as a partial refund of completed investment costs. The main Moj Prad formula (edition 6.0) has closed after exhausting its funds, and the government has signalled it will not relaunch in its previous form; support has shifted toward transitional and storage-focused funding, so applicants should check the official site for the current programme and any open window.
Who it is for: Individual prosumers who generate electricity for their own needs from a grid-connected micro-installation and have a comprehensive contract or energy sale agreement with their supplier; exact conditions depend on the current edition.
Czyste Powietrze (Clean Air)
Administered by: NFOSiGW, delivered through the regional environmental protection funds (WFOSiGW)
A large national programme co-financing thermal modernisation of single-family homes, including replacement of old heat sources with cleaner heating and, as a complementary element, rooftop photovoltaics. Eligibility for the PV component is tied to also installing or already owning an eligible clean heat source; funding is means-tested across income tiers and paid as a grant (with higher support for lower-income households).
Who it is for: Owners or co-owners of existing single-family homes (or eligible dwelling units), with the level of support depending on household income tier.
Net-billing (prosumer settlement system)
Administered by: Ministry of Climate and Environment (policy) with settlement carried out by the electricity supplier; oversight by the Energy Regulatory Office (URE)
The default settlement model for new prosumers: exported surplus electricity is valued in money at the market electricity price and credited to a prosumer deposit that offsets the cost of electricity later drawn from the grid, rather than being netted kilowatt-for-kilowatt. It replaced the older net-metering (net-metering) system for installations connected from 2022 onward; prosumers who connected earlier generally remain on net-metering for a defined transitional period. This is the framework that determines the ongoing financial value of a solar installation's surplus.
Who it is for: Prosumers whose micro-installation was connected to the grid after the 2022 changeover are settled under net-billing; earlier prosumers keep net-metering for their remaining transitional term.
Agroenergia
Administered by: NFOSiGW (with regional environmental protection funds), targeted at the agricultural sector
A grant programme co-financing renewable energy for farms, including photovoltaic installations, alongside heat pumps and energy storage, paid as a refund once the investment is completed and connected. Recruitment for the current round has ended and remaining activity is settlement of contracts already signed, so prospective applicants should watch the official page for any successor or reopened round.
Who it is for: Farmers/agricultural landholders meeting the programme's ownership and farm-activity conditions; applications are only honoured for those admitted before the round closed.
Thermo-modernisation relief (ulga termomodernizacyjna)
Administered by: Ministry of Finance / National Revenue Administration (KAS), via the annual PIT return
A personal income-tax relief that lets homeowners deduct qualifying home energy-efficiency expenses, explicitly including photovoltaic panels with their necessary infrastructure and installation, from taxable income. It is claimed on the annual tax return using documented VAT invoices, must be based on the taxpayer's own out-of-pocket cost (grant money received for the same works reduces the deductible base), and unused amounts can be carried forward over several years.
Who it is for: Owners or co-owners of existing single-family houses (including semi-detached and terraced) who pay Polish personal income tax and hold valid VAT invoices for the works.
Before you rely on any figure — check the official source
Solar incentive rates, tariff levels, budgets, eligibility thresholds and deadlines in Poland change frequently, and several schemes run on limited budgets or fixed application windows. This guide describes each programme at the mechanism level and links to the official administering body so you can confirm the current terms for your own project and year. Never commit to a purchase on the strength of a headline number from a third-party site — including this one.
Once you know which schemes apply, the practical next step is a qualified local installer who can size the system, handle the grid registration and apply for the incentives that fit. Browse solar companies in Poland → on Solar Directory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still get a Moj Prad grant for rooftop solar in Poland?
expand_more
The main Moj Prad rooftop-PV formula has closed after its funding ran out, and the government has indicated it will not return in its old shape; support has shifted toward transitional and energy-storage-focused funding administered by NFOSiGW. Check the official Moj Prad site for the currently active programme and whether any application window is open before assuming a grant is available.
What is the difference between net-metering and net-billing?
expand_more
Under the older net-metering system, exported and imported electricity were largely netted against each other in energy units. Under net-billing, which applies to prosumers connected from 2022 onward, surplus exports are valued in money at the market price and credited to a deposit that offsets later electricity bills. Earlier prosumers generally keep net-metering for a defined transitional period. The exact prices and coefficients change over time, so confirm current terms with your supplier or the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
Is there any VAT or tax break for installing solar in Poland?
expand_more
Yes. Homeowners can deduct qualifying photovoltaic and other energy-upgrade costs from their taxable income through the thermo-modernisation relief on their annual PIT return, and a reduced VAT rate generally applies to solar installations on residential buildings. Because thresholds, limits and VAT rules are set by tax law and can change, verify the current figures on the official podatki.gov.pl pages or with a tax adviser.
