Illegale Installation von Photovoltaikanlagen plagt EAC | Zypern-Post

The article reads like fearmongering on behalf of EAC. Like saying “speeding is bad!” while installing speed cameras instead of modifying the infrastructure to reduce the traffic speed.

From what I gather, nobody here enjoys high electricity cost, there’s a clear demand driving the illegal installations. Instead of enforcing the law compliance, scaring people away and fighting the symptoms, the regulations should be changed in a way that *massively* democratizes the PV installations. Every resident of any property should be able to install *some* kind of PV and storage with minimal bureaucracy if they can afford the hardware. This should be as simple as strapping panels to balcony, plugging inverter into panels and outlet and filling a short online form to notify the authorities. No expensive installation costs, no waiting for EAC approval, no approval from landlord or neighbors (where it doesn’t hurt) – like any other appliance. Maybe even subsidize the hardware or reduce the VAT.

The consumer PV and storage prices will continue to decrease. With the overhead costs staying the same, this will create even a stronger incentive for illegal PV.

I hope with all my heart for aik to go bankrupt and the corrupted assholes to rot in jail.
We need a new company tho.
