Can I place solar panels on a monument or in a protected cityscape?

In the canal belt and other protected areas, stricter rules apply and a permit or custom approach is often needed. We assess in advance what is possible and which panels are least conspicuous.

I live in an apartment with a VvE. Is that possible?

Often yes, but you usually need the owners' association's permission for the roof. We provide the technical information to support your proposal at the meeting.

Do you also install on flat roofs?

Yes. On flat roofs we usually place panels in an east-west, ballasted layout, without drilling through the roof.

How quickly can you install in Amsterdam?

Usually within three weeks of approving the quote. From Amstelveen we are quickly in the city for both the survey and the installation.

Do you also install in the new builds on IJburg and Zeeburgereiland?

Yes. On new-build homes on IJburg and Zeeburgereiland we fit solar panels, a home battery or an EV charger. The grid connection and feed-in run through operator Liander.

Solar panels in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has hugely varied roofs: 19th-century buildings in De Pijp and Oud-West, post-war blocks in Nieuw-West and Zuidoost, and new builds on IJburg and Zeeburgereiland. There is a fitting solution for every roof type, from a tidy ballasted array on a flat roof to panels on a pitched building.

What we often see in Amsterdam

Amsterdam often needs a bit more preparation. Think narrow streets, owners' association agreements, flat roofs and shade from surrounding buildings. That is why we look carefully at the roof, the meter cupboard and access in advance. You quickly know what is technically possible and what a neat installation requires.

Narrow streets and limited parking: we plan access and installation in advance
Apartments and owners' associations: technical information for meetings and choices per building
Flat roofs, older buildings and new builds: each roof needs a different approach
Shade from surrounding buildings: we measure and advise what fits your roof

Our services

In Amsterdam we focus on what works per roof type and building. A 19th-century house in De Pijp needs a different approach than a flat roof in Nieuw-West or a new build on IJburg. We deliver the full range and tailor every part to your home and any owners' association.

Local knowledge

We arrange the grid connection via operator Liander. Our advice focuses on what is possible per roof and building, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

You request a no-obligation quote, our specialist surveys your roof and sends a tailored plan, and once you approve, our own installers usually fit everything within three weeks.

Good contact with Raymond, quickly agreed on the price of a Hyxipower 10kWh battery, which was then delivered quickly and neatly installed by Team Ali. So far so good. The battery works well after a lot of searching in the app, but that is not Solar Fast's fault.

We're extremely satisfied with the technician, Timonthy, who neatly installed the home battery and his clear explanation of how the battery and app work. Unfortunately, there were some problems with the settings, but with the help of Umit
