The electronic channel is much more efficient. The NFOŚiGW ICT system for electronic applications collecting means that applications handling is not a problem, this translates directly into the customer service pace. Therefore, we are improving the programme by excluding paper applications which have caused a serious service delay also among those who have used the electronic means. December 2019 was the final stage of the first call for application - the fund was flooded with an avalanche of incomplete or illegible paper applications. It takes us a long time to sort them out. We want to give everyone a chance to get funding for a home PV installation - explains Piotr Woźny, the President of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
