Solar panels for your house in Albania, while you live abroad
Many Albanians abroad own a house back home and pay its electricity bill every month — sometimes for a house that is empty most of the year. A solar system can cut that bill, and you can follow it from your phone wherever you live. Lira Electric installs solar systems across Albania from our base in Shkodër, and many of our enquiries come from Albanians living abroad.

What about a house that is empty most of the year?
Albania currently uses net metering: every kWh your panels send to the grid becomes a 1 kWh credit you use later. Credits carry over month to month and reset on 31 December, so the production of the months you are away still counts when the family uses the house in summer. A decision of the Council of Ministers (VKM no. 368/2026) has approved a future switch to net billing, which OSHEE does not apply yet. We size the system so that it still makes sense under the new rules.
Battery for power cuts
If the house has frequent outages, a Huawei LUNA battery with SmartGuard switches the house to the battery in 20 ms or less. Packages from €4,339 (5 kWh, VAT included, installation quoted separately). See batteries →
Frequently Asked
Do I need to come to Albania to install solar panels?+
No. The assessment, the offer and the installation can all be done while you are abroad. Someone only needs to give our team access to the house.
Can I pay from abroad?+
Yes, you can pay by bank transfer from abroad. The payment terms are written in the offer.
Who handles the connection with OSHEE?+
We prepare the documentation for connecting the system to OSHEE as a self-producer and guide you through each step.
How do I know the system is working when I'm not there?+
In the Huawei FusionSolar app you see daily and monthly production. When the system is online, the app also sends alerts if something stops.
Is it worth it for a house that is empty most of the year?+
Under the current net metering scheme, every kWh exported to the grid becomes a 1 kWh credit that carries over month to month until 31 December, so production while you are away is used when the family is in the house. Decision 368/2026 has approved a future switch to net billing, which OSHEE does not apply yet; we size the system with that in mind.
Which areas of Albania do you cover?+
All of Albania — Shkodër, Tirana, Durrës, Lezhë, the coast and the south, including Sarandë and Gjirokastër.
