Captain István: 57 thousand solar households can receive support for the purchase of batteries

Hungary plans to provide non-refundable support to 57,000 households for battery purchases, potentially adding 285 megawatts of storage capacity. The government will cover most costs from next year's budget, with contract deadlines extended to February. Solar energy production peaks in the afternoon, while consumption is highest in the evening, creating a structural challenge for the energy system. Batteries can help balance this discrepancy and reduce reliance on the accounting system. During spring to autumn, solar energy meets a significant portion of consumption needs, as discussed by experts.
