Learn which buildings the programme is forPhotovoltaics are panels that turn sunlight into electricity. MGWB means Mehrgeschoßwohnbau, a building with several floors and flats.Key step
- Why?
- This route only fits a new photovoltaic system on the roof of an existing apartment building. Batteries, balcony panels or family houses have their own routes.
- What you do
- KPC and MA 20 are in charge. The app does not tell you how much money you get. It also gives you no right to it.
- Where?
- KPC / MA 20Directly with the named service
In detail
Separate Vienna housing programme from other photovoltaic routes
This first case organises confirmed private Vienna funding route for new rooftop photovoltaics on existing multi-storey housing. Storage, balcony modules, single-family house, special roofs and business route separately. No funding amount or entitlement from app checkbox.

Open original sourceCheck if the building fitsYou check if the building fits the programme. It needs at least three flats. At least 50 percent must be used for living.Key step
- Why?
- There are more rules, for example about the height and age of the building. Do not work out yourself if you get money.
- What you do
- Confirm this with the KPC. If you rent out more than five flats, the KPC has a route for businesses.

Confirm actual relevant programme and applicant route
Multi-storey-housing programme concerns at least three dwellings, at least 50 percent residential use and defined height or floors as well as existing age and yield. Do not calculate eligibility from individual inputs. More than five rented dwellings according to KPC business route; confirm programmes or borderline cases directly, no household or capacity data here.

Open original sourceApply before you order anythingThe application must come before everything else. That means before ordering, a deposit or building work. A deposit is part of the price you pay in advance.Key step
- Why?
- Otherwise you may lose the funding. If you already ordered, ask the KPC directly.
- What you do
- Wait with orders until the application is sent. The receipt is not yet an approval. What you build after that is at your own risk.

In detail
Review before first binding commitment and deposit
Request must precede order, deposit, construction or earliest irreversible commitment. Clarify cases already started or ordered directly with KPC; there is no automatic retrospective entitlement. Receipt and implementation at own risk are no funding offer or building permit; app initiates no order.
