Nowon-gu, Mini Solar Panels Installed on Home Balconies for 49,000 Won

Recruitment for Mini Solar Panel Applicants Using Apartment Verandas... 300W Mini Solar Panels Starting at 49000 KRW with Prices Around 500,000 KRW... Save About 7000 KRW Monthly on Electricity Bills with 300W Mini Solar Panel Installation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is promoting the 'Veranda-type Mini Solar Power Distribution Project' to produce eco-friendly energy and induce energy transition.

Veranda-type mini solar power refers to small-scale power generation projects ranging from 50W to less than 1kW, targeting homeowners and tenants.

The district provides a subsidy of 50,000 KRW to households wishing to install mini solar power plants (50W to less than 1kW) on verandas of multi-family housing (apartments, row villas, etc.) or rooftops of detached houses within the area. However, those who have previously received district subsidies are not eligible.

Applicants can install a 300W mini solar power system costing around 500,000 KRW with subsidies from both city and district funds, making installation possible for as low as 49,000 KRW.

Installing a 300W mini solar power system produces 30kWh of electricity per month, which can save about 7,000 KRW in electricity bills monthly based on Seoul households' average monthly electricity consumption of 304kWh.

Subsidies will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis to 2,000 households until November 30, and the project will close early if the budget is exhausted.

Residents wishing to install the system can apply through solar power distribution companies, the district office's Green Environment Division, local community centers by phone or visit, or online at www.sunnyseoul.com.

Information on 18 veranda-type solar mini power distribution companies and 173 products in Seoul can be found on the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Sunlight Map website.

If the installed mini solar power system malfunctions, free repairs are available within five years through the solar power distribution companies and the solar power support center.

Since 2014, the district has distributed 13,475 veranda-type mini solar power systems, the highest number among Seoul's autonomous districts. For six consecutive years, it has installed the most mini solar power systems, producing the most electricity in Seoul.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, "Installing solar power is an eco-friendly policy that transforms the city from an energy-consuming city to an energy-producing city, reducing fine dust and greenhouse gas emissions," and added, "We ask for residents' active participation and interest in the veranda-type solar mini power distribution project."
