    Cyprus rooftop solar households face lower returns due to curtailment and the shift to net billing

    Between 70 and 80 percent of the approximately 100,000 households in Cyprus with rooftop solar are affected by renewable energy curtailment, making it difficult for rooftop systems costing thousands of euros to deliver the expected savings. From 2026, new applicants will switch to net billing, with settlement based on the monetary value of the electricity exchanged with the grid rather than the number of kilowatt-hours. Since electricity purchased in the evening costs more, bills could rise substantially. Approximately 20,000 systems installed before 2020 that were not required to have ripple control equipment may be exempt from curtailment.
