How Much Does It Cost to Have a Solar Container System?
Each system, including 5 kW panels, a 10 kWh lithium battery bank, and real-time remote monitoring, cost around USD $25,000, including shipping and installation.
Montenegro has set a ceiling price of €65 ($76.11)/MWh for its first solar auction, which will offer 12-year contracts for difference (CfD) for up to 250 MW of capacity. The auction is scheduled to take place later this year. Image: Bojana Cupic, Vlada Crne Gore
Montenegro had installed solar power capacity of just 6 MW at the end of 2020. The country's solar power capacity is significantly smaller than the electrical power demand, which is currently met by the 225 MW Pljevlja thermal power plant in the north of Montenegro and two large hydropower plants, at Perućica (307 MW) and Piva (363 MW).
Almost 70 MWp of rooftop solar capacity has been installed, making Montenegro a regional frontrunner in prosumer deployment. However, instead of leaving solar energy to wealthier households able to afford panels, Montenegro created a financing model that requires no upfront payments.
In recent years, Montenegro, a small country on the Adriatic coast, has become an unexpected leader in rooftop solar energy. With more than 2,000 hours of sunshine per year, the country's natural potential has always been evident, but innovative policy design has truly driven adoption.
