Photovoltaic systems for businesses – now more accessible through EVN’s service and ProCredit Bank loans
EVN and ProCredit Bank are starting a new cooperation making solar energy more accessible for all businesses in the country. From now on, they will be able to use ProCredit bank’s loans in order to finance the photovoltaic systems provided by EVN. In that way customers overcome their two biggest challenges – the need for a professional and quality service, as well as a source for project funding.

The electricity costs can be reduced by over 30%, the surplus energy can be placed on the market, while the return of investment can be expected in the period of 6 to 8 years. Besides the long-term financial relief, the companies also contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in the air and raise awareness for sustainable projects in the country.
