Solar Subsidy Eligibility Auto-Checker

3.30

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Rapid growth in solar power generation
→
Step 2 Surge in small-scale solar business entry demand
→
Step 3 Eligibility determination across varying municipal subsidy requirements

Problem

Farmers and building owners considering solar panel installation must manually check subsidy eligibility requirements (renewable energy distribution subsidies, green remodeling programs, etc.) that vary across 17 provinces/metropolitan cities and 226 municipalities. Each local government has different support amounts, eligibility criteria (building use, area, year of completion), and application periods that change annually. Contractors only have accurate information for their own region, and independent research takes an average of 2-3 days.

Solution

(1) Enter address and building type to automatically match all applicable solar-related subsidies for that region, (2) Provide estimated subsidy amount, application deadline, and required documents for each subsidy, (3) Send alerts when subsidy announcements are updated.

Target: Rural building owners considering solar installation (ages 50-70), solar installation sales representatives (at SME contractors)
Revenue Model: Basic lookup free (lead generation), detailed Report + alert service 19,000 KRW/month (~$14/mo), contractor B2B plan 99,000 KRW/month (~$74/mo, unlimited client lookups)
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
