Can I place solar panels in Haarlem's historic centre or on a monument?

In protected cityscapes and on monuments extra requirements apply and a permit is sometimes needed. We advise on panels that are out of sight or less conspicuous and arrange the coordination.

Do you also work outside Haarlem?

Yes, across the whole Kennemerland region, including Heemstede, Bloemendaal, Overveen, Zandvoort and the Haarlemmermeer.

My home is from the 1930s, is that a problem?

Not at all. Pitched roofs from that period are well suited. We check the roof structure and choose suitable mounting materials.

Can I combine solar panels with a dynamic energy contract?

Yes. SolarFast partners with Frank Energie, so with a dynamic contract you can make the most of the electricity you generate.

Do you account for the coastal location towards Zandvoort and IJmuiden?

Yes. Closer to the coast we choose mounting materials that handle wind and weather well and match the fixing to the roof type.

Solar panels in Haarlem

Haarlem combines a historic centre with spacious 1930s neighbourhoods such as the Bloemenbuurt and the Garenkokerskwartier. Many of those homes have pitched roofs that work well for solar panels.

What we often see in Haarlem

In Haarlem we see many older homes, pitched roofs and streets where access needs to be planned carefully in advance. In and around the centre we pay extra attention to streetscape, permits and what can be done neatly. Towards the coast we factor wind and weather into the advice.

Our services

In Haarlem we often install on 1930s pitched roofs and account for the protected cityscape and the location towards the coast. Besides solar panels, a home battery, an EV charger and a heat pump, you can combine what you generate with a dynamic contract via Frank Energie.

Roel reached out to me after my inquiry and we were having a great and efficient conversation. The next week my solar panels were installed super fast alsó the electricity switch device got changed. Now we are harvesting the energy of the Sun, thanks to Roel and his Team! Great price, great comminication and service. 100% recommended!

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
