[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) will provide installation subsidies of 50,000 KRW per household on a first-come, first-served basis to 1,000 households installing veranda-type solar mini power plants in 2021 to establish a citizen-led renewable energy production system.

The veranda-type solar mini power plants are divided into freestanding types installed on veranda railings and anchor types installed on building rooftops. Owners and tenants of all buildings, including apartment complexes and detached houses, are eligible for solar installation subsidies.

When installing one 325W freestanding mini power plant fixed to the veranda railing, the product price averages between 480,000 and 550,000 KRW, but with city and district subsidies, the out-of-pocket cost can be reduced to 50,000 to 100,000 KRW.

For the 325W anchor-type mini power plant fixed on rooftops, installation is possible with an out-of-pocket cost of 100,000 to 170,000 KRW.

For households using about 227 kWh of electricity per month, installing a 325W solar mini power plant can reduce electricity bills by approximately 130,000 KRW annually. Additionally, further benefits can be obtained by joining the Eco Mileage program, which offers incentives worth 10,000 to 50,000 KRW after installing mini solar power plants.

Residents wishing to install veranda-type solar mini power plants can apply by calling the solar call center or supply companies directly, or apply online through the Seoul Haetbit Maru website.

Information on supply companies and solar mini power plant products is available on the district office website’s notices and announcements board as well as on the Seoul Haetbit Maru site.

Furthermore, the subsidy for solar mini power plant installation will be available until the end of November and will close on a first-come, first-served basis depending on the budget.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “Through the solar mini power plant distribution project, we hope that residents will install solar power at affordable prices in every home and participate as producers of eco-friendly solar energy.”
