Resi PV systems gain ground as power prices expected to grow in Romania

Business Forum
As Romanians brace for a potential doubling of electricity bills from July 1st due to the elimination of the energy price cap, there has been a significant surge in interest in photovoltaic systems. 

Data from Kilowat, a green energy solutions company, indicates that interest has doubled in the first months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. 

“Those with energy bills between RON 500 (€100) and over RON 1,200 (€241) per month are the most interested in photovoltaic panels because from July 1 they will pay RON 1,000 (€200), respectively over RON 2,400 (€482) per electricity bill, amounts that will affect their personal budget. There are people who live in houses with many consumers, maybe even an electric car, and they want to have comfort and get rid of the worry about energy bills,” says Albert Soare, Founder of Kilowat.

In recent years, Kilowat has installed solar panels for over 3,000 individual and corporate clients.
