1. What is the payback time for solar in Cyprus?
Most residential solar systems in Cyprus pay back in 4–6 years, depending on your consumption and the system size. With the new Net Billing scheme, savings are still strong, especially when combined with a battery. The higher electricity prices go, the faster your return on investment.

2. Do I need a building permit for solar panels?
For small residential systems, only EAC approval is required, which we handle for you. Larger systems, commercial projects, or installations in sensitive zones may also need planning permission. Our team manages the paperwork from start to finish so you don’t have to worry.

3. What government grants are available now?
The Cyprus government regularly launches subsidy schemes for solar and batteries, helping homeowners and businesses reduce upfront costs. These schemes change every year depending on EU funding. We monitor all programs and guide you step by step through the application process.

4. How much does a 4kW system cost?
A typical system in Cyprus costs between €1000 and €1500 per kW, depending on the brand of inverter, type of panels, and whether a battery is included. Systems with premium hybrid inverters and storage cost more but deliver long-term independence and flexibility. We always provide a clear, detailed quote before installation.

5. How much roof space do I need?
A standard 4kW solar system requires 20–25 m² of roof space. The exact area depends on the panel wattage and orientation. Our engineers design the layout to maximize efficiency while keeping the installation safe and aesthetically pleasing.

6. How long do solar panels last?
Modern solar panels last 25–30 years, and most come with a 25-year performance warranty. Inverters typically last 10–12 years, while batteries depend on cycles (usually 8–12 years). Investing in high-quality components ensures the system runs reliably for decades.

7. Will solar panels damage my roof?
No. When installed professionally with certified mounting systems, your roof remains 100% safe and waterproof. Our team ensures the structure is secure and compliant with Cyprus building regulations. In fact, panels can even protect the roof area beneath them from weather.

8. What maintenance is required?
Solar systems require very little maintenance. Panels may need occasional cleaning to remove dust or bird droppings, and an annual inspection of the inverter, cabling, and connections is recommended. With regular care, your system will operate efficiently for decades.

9. Do solar panels add value to my property?
Yes — properties with solar installations are more attractive to buyers and tenants because they offer lower running costs. Many Cypriot homeowners see solar as a smart investment not only for savings but also for increasing property value.

10. Can I run an electric vehicle fully on solar?
Yes. With a smart EV charger connected to your solar system, you can power your car directly from the sun. This allows you to “drive on sunshine”, reducing fuel costs and making your mobility 100% clean and renewable.

11. Can I power my pool pump directly with solar?
Yes — pool pumps can run entirely on solar either with a direct DC pump or connected through your main solar system. This reduces your electricity bills significantly, especially in summer when pool use and sunlight are at their peak.

12. What happens if there’s a blackout?
Standard grid-tied systems shut down automatically during a power cut for safety reasons. However, with a hybrid inverter and battery, you can keep your lights, fridge, and essential appliances running. This is becoming more popular in Cyprus as people want energy security.

13. Can I start small and expand later?
Yes. Many homeowners begin with a solar-only system and add a battery later. We always design installations to be battery-ready, so expansion is simple and cost-effective.

14. Do solar panels work in winter or cloudy weather?
Yes, though at a reduced output. Cyprus still gets a high number of sunshine hours even in winter. With a properly sized system, you will still cover a large part of your consumption year-round.

15. What makes CYMECH ENERGY different?
We focus on premium materials, professional installation, and long-term support. Every system is customized for your home or business, with future expansion in mind. Our goal is not just to install panels, but to deliver reliable energy independence for decades..
