Klimabonus Luxembourg 2026: the complete guide to the subsidies
How much do you get for your solar panels, your battery or your heat pump? Exact amounts, conditions, pre-financing and the application process, explained simply by an approved installer.
What is the Klimabonus?
The Klimabonus Wunnen is the Luxembourg State's subsidy scheme for the energy transition of homes. It subsidises the installation of photovoltaic panels, storage batteries and heat pumps, as well as insulation and window replacement.
Since 1 January 2026 the scheme has been completely overhauled: amounts are now clear flat rates, the former Tripartite bonus is built into the base subsidies, and the requirement that the boiler be at least 10 years old has been removed. The scheme applies to invoices issued between 2026 and 2035.
The major change is pre-financing. For photovoltaics, the approved installer now deducts the subsidy directly from your invoice. You no longer have to pay it upfront or wait for the reimbursement.

Subsidy for solar panels (photovoltaic)
The photovoltaic subsidy is degressive: it rises with the installed power up to a cap of €10,000 reached around 15 kWp. The minimum eligible power is 2 kWp and the installation must run in self-consumption.
Expect about €957 per kWp on the first bands. Here are concrete examples for a typical Luxembourg home:
| Power | Klimabonus subsidy | Estimated output/yr | Estimated savings/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kWc | 3.168 € | 2.850 kWh | 513 € |
| 5 kWc | 4.950 € | 4.750 kWh | 855 € |
| 8 kWc | 7.128 € | 7.600 kWh | 1.368 € |
| 10 kWc | 8.250 € | 9.500 kWh | 1.710 € |
| 15 kWc | 9.900 € | 14.250 kWh | 2.565 € |
Estimated output based on an average yield of 950 kWh per kWp in Luxembourg. Savings are indicative and depend on your consumption.
Subsidy for a storage battery
A battery stores the solar electricity produced during the day so you can use it in the evening, which strongly increases your self-consumption. The subsidy is degressive and capped at €2,250, reached at a usable capacity of 9 kWh, with a ceiling of €800/kWh.
The battery is only eligible if it equips a photovoltaic installation (new or existing) and must have a usable capacity of at least 2 kWh.
| Usable capacity | Klimabonus subsidy |
|---|---|
| 2 kWh | 889 € |
| 5 kWh | 1.806 € |
| 7 kWh | 2.139 € |
| 9 kWh | 2.250 € |
| 12 kWh | 2.250 € |
Subsidy for a heat pump
A heat pump is an excellent replacement for an oil or gas boiler. The 2026 amounts are flat rates that depend on the type of pump (air/water or geothermal) and on your situation.
Important: the subsidy can never exceed 50% of the total cost of the installation (supply and fitting).
| Situation | Air / Water | Geothermal |
|---|---|---|
| Replacing a fossil-fuel boiler | 10.000 € | 12.000 € |
| New installation (existing home) | 6.000 € | 8.000 € |
| New build | 3.000 € | 3.000 € |
Cap: 50% of the total cost. Source: guichet.public.lu.

Combine subsidies to pay less
The Klimabonus can be combined with other schemes, which can cover a large share of your investment:
- Enoprimes: premiums paid by energy suppliers.

- Communal subsidies: some communes add their own grant.
- nova naturstroum: an additional subsidy for solar.
Frequently asked questions about the Klimabonus

What is the maximum Klimabonus amount?
Up to €10,000 for photovoltaics, €2,250 for a battery, and up to €12,000 for a geothermal heat pump replacing a fossil-fuel boiler. These subsidies can be combined.
Does my boiler have to be more than 10 years old?
No. Since 2026, the 10-year age requirement for replacing the boiler has been removed.
