Solar panels
Due to the sharp increase in energy prices, solar panels are currently hard to come by. Unlike heat pumps, solar panels are currently sufficiently stocked. The problem, however, is a shortage of installers to put the panels on the roofs.
Guide to Solar Panels in the Netherlands 2024
While the thought of diving into a new technological venture in a foreign land might seem daunting, especially with potential language barriers, understanding and installing solar panels in the Netherlands can be rewarding and straightforward.
Solar panels and charging stations in the Netherlands
One of the main benefits of Sun Power is the promotion of sustainable energy generation through solar panels. By installing solar panels, individuals and companies can generate their own green energy, making them less dependent on traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels.
Solar power in the Netherlands
Nearly 80% of solar power installed in the Netherlands in 2017 was for small systems of less than 10 kW, a large part being rooftop Solar PV. Larger systems over 500 kW accounted for just 6.9% of the total. By the end of 2018 private residential rooftop systems had an installed capacity of 2,307 MW, businesses rooftop systems 1,662 MW whilst solar parks amounted to 444 MW.
