❓ FAQ
Can individuals apply for this subsidy?
As the system name states "for businesses," it is primarily for businesses (corporations and sole proprietors). For residential solar power generation, please check the separate system for households. Since eligibility requirements change depending on the fiscal year, we strongly recommend consulting with City Hall in advance.
When will the incentive be paid?
It will be paid after confirming the power generation record. Since it is calculated based on the actual power generation and sales record rather than at the time of application, it takes a certain amount of time from application to receipt.
What documents are required for the application?
Mainly, you need (1) proof of installation of solar power generation equipment (grid connection approval document, etc.), (2) records of the amount of power generated and sold, and (3) application documents. Please check with City Hall or the Ota City website for the latest details.
Can I use it together with the housing renovation subsidy?
The installation of solar power generation may be treated as part of a housing renovation. However, double subsidies for the same construction are often not allowed, so be sure to check with City Hall in advance.
