## 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.

## What you need
- Quotes for the solar canopy and any storage system, for your budget.
- A plan for how you will cover the part of the cost you pay yourself.
- The list of required documents: the call we hold does not state it, so ask the help desk.

## How to apply
1. Open the regional application portal, where you submit your application, and check that you can log in.
2. Reread the official call and its corrections: the official act prevails.
3. Write to the Region's business help desk, during its opening hours, if you doubt the requirements.
4. Prepare the project and the quotes, and order nothing before you submit.
5. Submit on the portal by Monday 16 November 2026 at 13:00 and keep the receipt.
