Solar Power and other Green Energy Rebates

Hi,

Does anyone know of any rebates/tax break you can get from the government for using clean energy that a housing company or individual can get back? Like adopting Solar or Wind energy to power evening lights etc.?

Short answer: 0
For long answer google: kotitalousvähennys, not the same thing, but at least you get something back...

Knowing the Finnish government, more likely you will get taxed for energy production

Such things do exist but they seem to change all the time and be handled on a local level. When I installed my (thermal) solar panels I did get some money from the local council. This was a one-off grant towards installation, not a payment per energy produced. I can't remember now but I think I got 10% or 20% of the system cost.
Anyway it could be worth asking your local council rather than looking for a national scheme.
