Subsidy guide
Everything you need to know about Serbian solar subsidies and prosumer status.
What is prosumer status?
A prosumer (producer-consumer) is a household or business that produces its own renewable energy, uses it, and feeds the surplus back into the grid.
Net metering (households): what you produce but don't use appears as a credit on your next bill.
Net billing (businesses): surplus energy is returned to you in cash.

Government subsidy — how does it work?
Government + municipality cover 50%
The Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy and local municipalities jointly finance up to half the cost of solar system installation.
Municipality opens applications
Annually, usually in Q2. Over 131 municipalities participate in the program. Ask us whether your municipality is included.
We handle the paperwork
SolarHero helps prepare and submit the application documents — you only need to provide the down payment.
Net Metering deadline: December 31, 2026
The Serbian government has adopted amendments to the energy law: the net metering system will be discontinued after December 31, 2026.
Those who obtain prosumer status by that date will keep net metering for the entire lifetime of their system (25 years).
Those who become prosumers in 2027 or later will be subject to a different — as yet unknown — settlement system.
