Roof Asbestos Removal Experiments for Solar Panel Installation
The programme describes support for removing asbestos from roofs where the work is part of a solar installation project and concerns buildings located in the area covered by the scheme. The beneficiaries, level of aid and costs taken into account depend on the applicable rules and must be confirmed before work is committed.
An asbestos roof can prevent or complicate the installation of solar panels on a commercial building. The operation must then be planned in the right order: survey, asbestos removal by certified professionals, then the solar project. The scheme listed aims to support this type of work within a specific area, so check the local rules before including the aid in the financing plan.

Who can apply
Owners or project holders on a commercial building may be concerned if the site is within the defined area and the asbestos removal is linked to the solar project. The applicant’s status, ownership or occupation of the building and the project’s technical conditions must be checked in the official rules.
Eligibility conditions
The asbestos survey, the use of qualified companies, the link between asbestos removal and the solar project, and the location of the building may determine access. Also check the order of steps: some schemes require the application to be submitted before quotes are signed or work starts.
What the scheme covers
The costs covered are those of removing asbestos from the roof within the framework of the scheme. They should not be confused with the full cost of the photovoltaic installation, general renovation of the building or works unrelated to the solar project, unless the rules expressly say so.
Amount and funding terms
The catalogue indicates: Grant of up to 50% of eligible costs, capped at €40 of aid per m² of roof cleared of asbestos, or €50 per m² where the roof is also insulated. The aid is between €5,000 and €70,000. This amount is information to be checked: it is neither a promise of award nor confirmation of the scale currently open.
How to apply
1. Have the asbestos survey carried out or gather it, and define the photovoltaic project. 2. Check that the building and the applicant fall within the scope of the scheme. 3. Ask the operator for the list of eligible costs and the technical documents required. 4. Apply before any commitment if the rules require it, then keep the evidence of works and payment.
Timeline
The timetable depends on the territorial programme and the available budget. The presence of this aid in the catalogue does not confirm that a round is currently open; check the rules and the deadline with the operator.
