It suits you if…

  • You run a micro, small or medium-sized business and your project falls within the call's area, Emilia-Romagna.
  • You apply on your own, not as a group of businesses.
  • You want a solar canopy over a car park that already exists.
  • You plan a new car park on already paved land, with a solar canopy.
  • You will use the electricity yourself, perhaps with a storage system.

It is not for you if…

  • You belong to a group of businesses applying together: the call wants single businesses.
  • You are not a business: the call names only businesses as recipients.
  • You want to sell the electricity rather than use it: the call speaks of self-consumption.

How much you can get

The call has €3,000,000 in total. It pays at most 35% of the cost, and no more than €100,000 per application. You pay the rest. The call does not state a minimum grant, or whether the part you pay can be covered by other aid. If you are unsure about combining aid, ask the help desk.

  • If you spend €150,000, you receive €52,500 and pay €97,500 yourself.
  • If you spend €300,000, you receive €100,000 and pay €200,000 yourself.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • New solar canopies over car parks that already exist.
  • Solar canopies over new car parks built on land that is already paved.
  • Storage systems connected to the plant, if your project includes them.

Does not pay

  • The call does not state a list of excluded costs: ask the help desk before you prepare the quotes.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Applying together with other businesses as a group. Consequence: The call admits only single businesses, so your application may be rejected.
  • Buying or installing the canopy before you submit. Consequence: The call we hold does not say what happens to those costs: ask the help desk.
  • Leaving the submission to the last moment. Consequence: After closing, the portal no longer accepts applications.
  • Assuming the grant covers the whole cost. Consequence: Part of the cost stays with you, and the call does not let you cover it with this grant.
  • Claiming the same costs from another funder. Consequence: The call we hold does not state the consequences: ask the help desk about combining aid.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start the works before I apply?

Better not. Do not start works or purchases before you apply. The call we hold does not explain what happens to costs already incurred: ask the help desk.

Who can apply?

Micro, small and medium-sized businesses of any legal form, as long as they apply alone and not as a group.

Does the call also pay for storage systems?

Yes, storage can go alongside the solar canopy. The electricity must be for the applicant's own use.

When does the money arrive?

The call we hold does not state how payment works or whether an advance exists. Ask the help desk, and keep traceable invoices and payments.

What must I do after I receive the grant?

Beneficiary data are published in open format and processed to prevent fraud and irregularities. For other obligations, read the official call.
