These are the 2 types of grants applicable with GO Energi:

1. Photovoltaic (PV) System Grant:

• Subsidy: 50% of the total cost of installing a PV system is covered.
• Maximum Grant: Up to €3,000 per PV system.
• Purpose: Encourages households to adopt renewable energy by offsetting a significant portion of the installation cost.

2. Battery Storage System Grant:

• Subsidy: 80% of the cost of a battery storage system is covered.
• Maximum Grant: Up to €7,200 per system.
• Purpose: Supports the integration of energy storage solutions, enabling users to store solar energy and use it later, enhancing self-consumption and reducing dependency on the grid.

If your PV system generates more energy than you consume, the surplus energy can be sold back to the grid at a rate of €0.10 per kWh, providing extra income or further reducing your electricity bills. If you choose to install a complete PV system with a battery and inverter, you will be eligible for both grants. However, if you already have a PV system and are looking to add a battery and upgrade to a hybrid inverter, you can still benefit from the second grant.

This is done in Form A of the grant application process. Here you are required to submit a number of details after which the authority will advise whether you can benefit from a grant when installing a PV system at your property.

In essence, the GO Energi PV system can be installed on nearly any roof. The best way to confirm whether your roof is suitable is through an on-site visit. After the visit, we will provide you with the structure’s weight, which you can then share with your architect.

Absolutely. The GO Energi PV System is available for residents in both Malta and Gozo. In fact, if you’re in Gozo, you get even better grant coverage. The government covers 95% of battery storage installation costs, while residents in Malta can still enjoy up to 85% funding.

Yes, you can. All you need to do is add a power optimizer to your inverter, which allows each panel to operate independently. During the initial site visit, our professionals will evaluate whether optimizers are necessary, and if so, these can also be paid monthly.

We’re here to help you choose the perfect battery that matches your energy needs and integrates smoothly with your existing PV setup. To get ready, it’s important to make sure your electrical loads are well-distributed within 6kW of power, especially if you’re planning to add a backup battery solution.

Yes, of course you can. The GO Energi PV system is also available to customers who don’t have any of our services.

Yes, the basic setup includes a battery backup of up to 9.6 kWh. The battery offers two modes – Eco Mode and Backup Mode. In Eco Mode, it prioritises using solar energy for immediate needs and stores excess energy, while in Backup Mode, it conserves stored energy for potential outages, limiting regular consumption from the battery.

The PV panels come with a 25-year product warranty, while the inverters and batteries are covered for 10 years. Moreover, these warranties are provided by two financially stable companies for that added peace of mind.

An import/export metre is a handy device that keeps track of two important things:

• Exported electricity: This is the extra energy produced by your PV system that is not used at your property and gets sent back into the grid. You’ll see this on your bill marked as “EXPORT” and your smart metre usually displays it under “Export info.”
• Imported electricity: This is electricity you draw from the grid whenever your PV system isn’t producing enough energy. Supplied by Enemalta plc, this usage shows up as “IMPORT” on your bill and appears as “Consumption” on your smart meter.

Yes, even if you have a smart electricity metre, an additional one must be installed. This is supplied by Enemalta plc.

Yes, you’ll still need an additional PV metre. Usually, connecting your PV system to the grid requires both a PV metre and a Smart Metre, both provided by Enemalta plc. The PV metre specifically tracks all the electricity your solar system generates, helping you see exactly how much clean energy you’re producing.

The GO Energi PV system comes with a 10-year payment plan, starting from only €25.99/month for a fully complete system. This price includes the grant discount.

Any customisations you might have added to the standard package would be billed as a one-time fee. Also where applicable, €100 for the design fee applies. These fees would only be requested once grant eligibility has been confirmed.

The design fee is FREE to GO Home Pack and/or Mobile Freedom Plan customers, so if you are subscribed to these plans and did not upgrade from the standard package, no one-time fees will apply to you.

The monthly payment will come into effect once the GO Energi PV system is installed.

Our professional installers will assess the roof and its condition, take measurements and recommend the optimal location for the panels. They will also evaluate shading levels to determine the panels’ efficiency and discuss any necessary adjustments to obstacles.

Not much. Normally in a day the whole set-up will be delivered to your home and will be fully installed.

We install our GO Energi PV system on an integrated ballast and structure that is resistant to corrosion. The mount used is wind tunnel tested and also certified to high wind loads. Furthermore, no roof penetrations are needed as to avoid any water ingress in the roof. The system is installed at a low angle, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

A Wi-Fi connection is not mandatory, however connecting the GO Energi PV system to Wi-Fi gives you the added benefit of monitoring your system through the app or the online portal.

Absolutely. The app is called iSolar Cloud and it can be downloaded right from the Play or Apple stores.

Yes, when the inverter included with the GO Energi PV system is connected to Wi-Fi, you would be able to monitor real-time data either through the app or online portal. During installation, we can help you with the set-up of the app and guide you accordingly.

If you require any further information or support on the GO Energi PV system feel free to reach out to us through the regular GO customer care channels.
