Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that you may have questions about solar energy, energy storage, and our sustainable energy solutions. That is why we have listed the most frequently asked questions for you. If your question is not listed, please feel free to contact us — we will be happy to help.
Technology & Quality
Our solar panels have an expected lifespan of 25 years. They can continue operating after that period, although with reduced efficiency. The mounting structure is made from durable metal components, giving the overall installation a long service life.
Batterijen worden geleverd met een garantie van 10 jaar.
Warranty on the solar panels depends on the product selected.
Inverters have a guaranteed service life of 12 years. This component is easy to replace and represents only a small part of the total investment.
Our systems are well suited to Dutch weather conditions. They are designed to withstand wind, rain, and sunlight. Frequent rainfall can also help naturally clean the solar panels.
The different components of our solar facades can be dismantled at the end of their service life and recycled separately.
We use glass-glass solar panels, which means glass is the main material in the panels and can be recycled efficiently.
ROI & Investeringen
The payback period can be calculated for each product, depending on the selected solar or battery storage solution.
We can calculate your expected ROI — request a free energy assessment.
The Netherlands offers several important incentives for solar energy systems and battery storage. For homeowners, there is 0% VAT on solar panels and the net metering scheme, which offsets electricity consumption, although this is being phased out. Businesses may benefit from schemes such as EIA, KIA, and the SDE++ subsidy for larger renewable energy projects.
Currently, battery storage systems have limited direct subsidies, but they may qualify for tax benefits or local incentive programs. Overall, support is increasingly focused on encouraging solar self-consumption and energy efficiency.
A battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day so you can use it later instead of feeding it back into the grid. This reduces your dependence on buying electricity when prices are higher, especially in the evening.
Combining solar energy with battery storage increases self-consumption and can lead to greater long-term energy savings.
Even as feed-in compensation is phased out, solar projects can remain profitable by focusing more on self-consumption and smart energy management.
Customers benefit most by using more of their own solar energy directly, reducing the need to purchase electricity from the grid. Adding a battery storage system or shifting consumption, for example by operating equipment during the day, helps maximize these savings.
In addition, electricity prices remain relatively high, so every kWh generated and used on-site still provides strong value. For businesses, additional benefits such as peak shaving and smart energy management can further improve returns. peakshaving en slim energiebeheer de opbrengsten verder verbeteren.
Installation & Process
The installation process usually starts with a site assessment and feasibility study, during which the building, energy consumption, and technical requirements are evaluated. Based on this, a custom system design and proposal are prepared, followed by any required permits and approvals. After approval, the installation team mounts the solar panels or facade system, installs the inverter and battery if included, and completes all electrical connections.
After installation, the system is tested, commissioned, and connected to ensure everything functions correctly. Finally, monitoring is activated.
Smaller systems can be operational within a few weeks, while larger or more complex projects may take longer due to design, permitting, and grid connection requirements.
We provide a clear timeline in advance and manage the process from start to finish.
When a building permit is required, we can provide the necessary drawings and calculations for the permit application.
The grid connection is carried out by a qualified electrician who handles the AC side of the installation.
In principle, no. The installation is planned to minimize disruption to your building and business operations. Solar facades are installed on the exterior of the building and do not normally interfere with internal operations. We aim to complete installation as efficiently as possible so normal building activities can continue.
Most work is carried out externally on the roof or facade, with only limited indoor activity for electrical connections. For businesses, we can plan installation outside working hours or in phases to avoid disruption to daily operations.
Maintenance & Support
Solar energy and battery storage systems require minimal maintenance. Solar panels generally only need occasional cleaning and periodic inspections, while battery systems benefit from routine performance checks and software monitoring. With proper installation and monitoring, maintenance remains low and systems are designed for long-term, reliable performance.
Only the inverter or inverters typically need replacement every 12 to 15 years. A system inspection is recommended once every five years.
Yes, we offer monitoring systems for both solar energy systems and battery storage installations.
Our monitoring solutions provide real-time insights into energy generation, consumption, battery performance, and system status through a user-friendly platform.
Sustainability & Impact
By generating renewable energy on-site, reducing CO₂ emissions, and improving building energy performance, our systems contribute to sustainability goals and green building standards.
By reducing CO₂ emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and improving building energy efficiency, our solutions contribute to sustainability objectives aligned with evolving EU climate requirements.
Our solutions help future-proof your building or business by supporting the transition to cleaner, more energy-efficient operations.
Project Process
Yes, we offer a free feasibility study, called a quick scan, to assess the potential of your project.
We evaluate your building, available space, energy consumption, and solar potential to determine the most suitable solution and expected energy yield.
Our free assessment helps you understand whether solar energy and battery storage are suitable for your building before you commit.
Yes, we provide custom design proposals tailored to your building, energy needs, and project goals.
Our team evaluates your roof or facade, energy consumption, and technical requirements to create a solution optimized for performance, aesthetics, and return on investment.
Every project is specifically designed for your building to ensure the best possible solar and battery storage solution.
Absolutely. Send us the location of your building and any photos you have. If you already have a preferred solution, let us know and we can analyze the solar potential of your building.
Every building is unique, and the location must be assessed to determine its solar potential. If you would like to explore the solar potential of your building, send us the details or request a free quick scan.
You can receive a quick scan with an initial proposal and the necessary assumptions within one week. A detailed proposal takes more time because it requires a more in-depth building analysis and may require drawings or additional project information.
