Home solar systems: Cyprus VAT falls to 9%
From 16 October 2026, qualifying photovoltaic—or solar-panel—systems supplied to household electricity customers for self-consumption in their homes are subject to 9% value added tax (VAT), reduced from the standard 19% rate.
The rule is specific to eligible residential systems. Installations that do not meet the household and self-consumption conditions may remain subject to 19% VAT, so the applicable treatment should be confirmed with the supplier or a qualified adviser.
For homeowners and buyers comparing future running costs, the change makes energy improvements more relevant to the overall property budget.
