Reduction of Customs Duties on Solar Panel Components in Algeria

planned

The Algerian government’s draft finance law for 2026 includes measures to reduce customs duties on components used in the manufacture of photovoltaic solar panels, such as unassembled cells, junction boxes, aluminium frames, and solar glass. The customs duty rate for these components will be reduced to 5%. Additionally, electrolyzers for hydrogen production are exempt from customs duties, and solar water heaters for domestic use will have their customs duty rate reduced from 30% to 15%. These measures aim to stimulate the renewable energy market in Algeria and support the country's goal of equipping over 100,000 households with solar water heaters by 2035.
