If you intend to install solar panels on an uninsulated auxiliary building (e.g., a shed) that still contains asbestos-containing materials, you can apply for the Asbestos Removal Grant in conjunction with solar panels.

Grant Amount:

The grant for asbestos removal amounts to approximately €12 per square meter (excluding VAT), provided you meet all the conditions. You can receive reimbursement for up to 50% of the total invoice amount for asbestos removal and disposal.

TIP: You can combine this grant with the Fluvius Solar Panel Grant for non-residential buildings (maximum of €1,500) and the green energy call.

To be eligible for the grant amount, you must meet the following conditions:

For whom? The grant is valid for all investors who want to perform asbestos removal and disposal on the roof of an uninsulated, non-residential building (e.g., warehouses, stables, outbuildings, etc.), and this must be part of the asbestos reduction policy within the agricultural sector. The disposal of asbestos material must be included in the tender for the disposal of asbestos material.
Which buildings? It goes over an uninsulated, non-residential building with asbestos-containing roof covering. This roof must be remediated or removed. Subsequently, solar panels will be installed on the remediated roof (at least 10% of the roof surface) or on the roof of another building on the same plot.
Asbestos works date? The asbestos removal and disposal quote, along with the advance invoice, must be dated between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023.

IMPORTANT: Both the asbestos removal and the installation of solar panels must be carried out by a professional. If not, you will not receive the grant. Get in touch with a solar panel installer active in your region to apply for the grant.

You can apply for the grant online via the website of Fluvius. The application process consists of two steps:

STEP 1:

Activate the grant by March 31, 2024. Attach a signed quote or purchase order and an advance invoice (at least 10%) for asbestos removal and disposal (from 2022 or 2023).

STEP 2:

Once the asbestos removal is completed and the solar panels are installed, you can finalize your grant application by March 31, 2026.
