E.ON sees growing demand for photovoltaics, installs around 40 systems a day

  The market of photovoltaic solutions for domestic consumers in Romania is going through a period of accelerated expansion, announces E.ON Energie Romania. In the first half of 2025, the company installed more than 2,270 PV systems, up 13% compared to the same period in 2024, with peak installations of up to 40 systems daily.   The figures are relevant not only for the dynamics of demand, but also for the opportunities they generate in the service chain – from design, technical consultancy and procurement to installation and maintenance. Another strong signal comes from the fact that more than 87% of systems installed this year already include storage batteries – an almost nine-fold increase on previous years’ levels. This advance indicates a maturing of demand and at the same time an open window for hybrid solution integrators and higher value-added equipment suppliers.   “Becoming a prosumer is one of the best decisions to reduce your energy bill and help protect the environment”, emphasized Claudia Griech, General Manager of E.ON Energie Romania. More than 7,000 families have already chosen the solutions offered by the company, saving up to 70% of their electricity costs.   Also notable is the growing appetite for energy independence, even outside the Photovoltaic Green House program – where E.ON has seen a 10-fold increase in installations since 2024. This may encourage energy service companies (ESCOs), off-grid solution developers and microfinance providers to diversify their portfolio and respond to a steadily growing demand.   A study conducted by E.ON in June 2025 shows that almost 2 out of 10 Romanians in urban and neighboring rural areas (17%) plan to purchase a photovoltaic system in the next year – a considerable market potential, especially as the systems offered by the company cover the whole range of usual power outputs (3, 5 and 7 kW), all available with storage batteries.   In this context, E.ON proposes a complete turnkey model, including site assessment, technical design, permitting, installation, maintenance and verification of the installation. In this way, local developers and contractors can find opportunities in recurring sub-contracts for the design, execution or delivery of equipment, including storage systems.   In terms of return on investment, the company explains how a 3 kW system produces on average 3,500 kWh/year, enough for an average monthly consumption of about 200 kWh, and the payback period is estimated at about 4 years. The warranties on offer – 15 years for the panels, 10 years for the inverter and battery – make the investment more attractive to end consumers and increase demand for reliable equipment from reputable suppliers.
