pv magazine spoke with Nina Hojnik, General Manager of the Slovenian Photovoltaic Association at the Smarter E tradeshow in Munich, about the launch of energy sharing and its first registrations, alongside a residential rebound driven by solar-plus-storage.
Slovenia’s photovoltaic market is entering a new phase, marked by the introduction of a nationwide energy sharing mechanism, growing adoption of battery storage, and a recovery in the residential segment following two years of slower growth.
“The recently launched energy-sharing framework has attracted strong initial interest, with more than 1,000 registrations recorded,” Nina Hojnik, General Manager of the Slovenian Photovoltaic Association (ZSFV) told pv magazine.
The energy sharing mechanism will allow electricity producers and consumers to allocate solar generation between different metering points through a centralized platform. Participants will be able to determine their own arrangements, including sharing electricity at market prices, symbolic prices, or without charge.
Hojnik told pv magazine the new framework could expand access to solar energy for consumers who do not have suitable rooftops for their own installations. “Because the mechanism is available nationwide, generation and consumption do not need to occur at the same location,” she explained.
