Have solar panels installed
With solar panels, you generate your own electricity. You save energy, reduce your emissions, and are less dependent on the energy market.
Description
What we find interesting:
With solar panels, you generate your own green energy and reduce your emissions. While production does cost CO₂, over 25 years, the total emissions will be much lower than those of grid electricity, especially if it's partly fossil fuel-based.
It can also be financially attractive, especially if you consume the electricity yourself. Purchase and installation are VAT-free. There is no longer a national subsidy, but some municipalities do offer loans or programs.

3 more reasons to install solar panels:
- Generating your own energy saves money: You buy less electricity and are better protected against rising energy prices.
- You contribute to the energy transition: Every kilowatt-hour of solar energy generated reduces the demand for fossil fuels. The more people generate locally, the faster we can transition to a sustainable energy system. - Combine smartly with other measures: Consider a home battery or charging your electric car with your own power.
