Question 1

Why choose solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels lower your energy bill and produce clean power. With net metering and favourable payback periods, they're a smart investment for many households.

Question 2

Can I install solar panels without a large upfront investment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Warmtefonds often offers low-interest loans, so you don't have to pay everything upfront yourself.

Question 3

Are solar panels maintenance-intensive?

Accepted Answer

No. Occasional cleaning is enough. Panels typically last for decades with little maintenance.

Question 4

What if my roof does not face perfectly south?

Accepted Answer

East- or west-facing roofs often still produce good yields. We calculate what your roof can realistically deliver upfront.

Question 5

How do solar panels affect the value of my home?

Accepted Answer

Buyers value lower energy costs. Solar panels can make your home more attractive when you sell.

Question 6

What happens to the energy I do not use?

Accepted Answer

With net metering you feed surplus power back and receive compensation on your bill. Every kWh you generate counts.

Question 7

Do you offer support after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have questions or need maintenance, we're here to help. Our service doesn't stop after installation.

Question 8

How quickly do I earn back my investment in solar panels?

Accepted Answer

On average between 3 and 4 years, depending on your usage, system size and energy prices. After that you mainly benefit from lower costs.

Question 9

Can I install solar panels on a rental home or apartment?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, in consultation with your landlord or homeowners' association. There are also communal solar projects you can join.

Question 10

Why invest in home batteries?

Accepted Answer

You store power generated during the day for use later. That way you use more of your own energy and rely less on the grid.

Question 11

How does a charging station for my electric car work at home?

Accepted Answer

An EV charger connects to your fuse box and charges your car faster and more safely than a standard socket.
