How to set up the Green Technology Incentive for Swedish Projects

Summary

This article introduces an OpenSolar feature that enables Swedish users to accurately apply the Green Technology (grön teknik) incentive to their projects. This government rebate helps lower the cost of solar PV, battery, and charger systems based on the number of households involved. The article covers how to add the incentive to your account, apply it to a project, and display it to customers.

Adding the incentive to your account

1. Navigate to Control> Other> Incentives and create a new incentive
2. In the "type" field, select "grön teknik"
3. Add a description to the incentive. This will later appear on your proposal as explainer text for your customer. 
4. Enter the applicable rebate (%) figures within the PV, Battery and Charger fields.
5. Enter the "cap amount for 1 household" and "more than one household" in the dedicated fields.
6. Save your incentive.

Applying the incentive to a Project

Now that you have added the incentive to your account, you can apply it to a Project.

1. Navigate to the design page for a specific project
2. Set your price for the system in the pricing tab. This can be a manual price or from a pricing scheme.
3. Click the "incentive" tab on the left-hand navigation bar
4. Enter the PV price, battery price and charger price
5. Select the number of households for this project (which determines the cap amount of the incentive)

Note: We have included logic to ensure that the total system price you have entered is fully distributed across the incentive. In the example below, the total system price is 150,000 SEK and the incentive has been distributed across PV (100,000) and Battery (50,000). You will see a warning if the incentive has not been fully distributed. 

Displaying the incentive to your customer

In the quotation table of your proposal there will be a line item reserved for the incentive which explains the breakdown of the incentive value as well as the description that you had entered for the incentive in the control settings.
