FAQ

Do I have to install the array by myself? Does the array have to be maintained? Can hail destroy a solar array? Is the income I make from selling electricity produced by a solar array liable to income tax?

According to the loi de finance rectificative pour 2008 (Finance (Amendment) Law for 2008) (article 35b of the general tax code): Natural persons selling electricity produced by solar arrays of an installed capacity equal to or less than 3kWp are exempt from income tax on the income from this sale. This law applies as from the 2008 tax year.

Before each tax declaration, Solairedirect will help you with the relevant administrative details and most importantly of all, will tell you the total amount of income earned from solar-generated electricity that you will have to declare.

What happens if my solar array breaks down? What is the life span of a solar array? What administrative steps must be carried out in order to have a solar array installed? Can a lightning strike destroy a solar array? Does a solar array run the risk of being damaged by hail?
