How many kW of solar can you install in Cyprus?

Solar Capacity Guide · Cyprus 2026

The answer does not depend only on your roof. It depends on your supply, your main fuse size, whether a battery is added and whether the system runs with zero export. Here is a first technical picture before you request a study.

Check supply from EAC bill Talk to an engineer

Quick supply check

Choose your supply size. If you do not know it, send us a photo of your EAC bill and we will check it for you.

The values are a simplified presentation of the EAC/DSO Connection Guide 2026 limits. The final installation capacity must be confirmed with a technical study, application and approval where required.

Why knowing only the kW is not enough

The maximum permitted limit is not always the right size. Under Net Billing, an oversized solar system can export energy at a low value instead of genuinely reducing your bill. That is why CYMECH starts from EAC bills and the consumption profile, not from how many panels fit on the roof.

Supply

The fuse and load entitlement define the technical limit of the system.

Consumption

The right size comes from when and how much electricity the property uses.

Battery

A battery can increase self-consumption and, in some cases, the permitted limit.

Zero Export

In saturated areas or special cases, zero export can be decisive.

Battery or zero export?

A battery is not added just to make a system bigger. It is added when it helps you use more of your own production instead of buying electricity in the evening. Zero export is a different technical setting: it limits export to the grid. In every case, the system must be designed correctly from the start.

What to send us for an accurate answer

  • Photo of a recent EAC bill
  • Property location or Google Maps link
  • Whether the supply is single-phase or three-phase
  • Approximate annual consumption or monthly bill
  • Whether you are interested in a battery or backup

Frequently asked questions

Usually the basic limit is 4.16kW. On single-phase 1x30A or 1x40A supplies, with a battery or a suitable setting, it can reach up to 5.2kW, provided the technical conditions are met.
It depends on the fuse. For 3x20A the limit without a battery is 6kW, for 3x30A it is 8kW and for 3x40A it is 10.4kW. With a battery or zero export it can in some cases reach up to 10.4kW.
Not always. The technical limit is not the correct design. The right capacity depends on real consumption, when electricity is used, the roof and whether there is a battery.
Zero export means the system limits energy export to the grid. It can be used where zero injection is required or when the grid has constraints.
On some supplies, a battery can allow a larger installed capacity. But a battery should be added when it improves self-consumption and the economics of the system, not simply to make the solar bigger.
