Introduction
The transition to cleaner energy is a priority in Belgium. Good news: if you install photovoltaic panels, a domestic battery or an energy management system, you can benefit from a number of grants and subsidies, depending on your region.
Here’s a clear summary of the aid available in Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels in 2025.
