Why Bitola is Ideal for Solar Energy

Bitola's geographic position offers over 250 sunny days annually—making it one of the sunniest regions in the Balkans. Combined with rising electricity prices (up 18% since 2022), solar panels have become a practical solution. Let's break down the advantages:

  • Lower Energy Bills: A 5 kW system can save households €600–€800 yearly.
  • Government Support: Macedonia offers tax rebates covering 15–20% of installation costs.
  • Grid Independence: Battery storage solutions reduce reliance on unstable grid supply.

Case Study: Solar Success in Bitola's Industrial Zone

In 2023, a local textile factory installed 120 rooftop panels, cutting energy costs by 40%. The project paid for itself in under 6 years, thanks to Macedonia's net metering policy.
