Nowadays, there are many people who are considering purchasing solar panels. However, many of these people still have a lot of doubts, and therefore a lot of questions. Below you can find the most frequently asked questions about solar panels and our answer to them.

The cost of your solar panels, depends on several factors: the quality, the power and the area of your roof. In other words, a quality solar installation for an average family can cost up to about €6,000. However, you can apply for a premium of €750 for this.

You buy a solar panel installation in its entirety, that is, including the accompanying inverter and mounting hardware. If you want to generate most of your own power, the cost comes to about €5,000. This is calculated for an average family of 4. Of course this is on condition that you have a suitable roof with enough sunlight.

If you invest in solar panels, and their associated installations, you can save up to a 3rd of your energy costs. Depending on how much you consume, this can quickly add up to several hundred euros. Even before the huge increase in energy prices, the payback period for solar panels was around 8 years. Now that has even been reduced to about 6 years, and maybe even faster.

Via the digital Solar Map of the Flemish Government, you can easily check whether your roof is suitable for installing solar panels. All you have to do is enter your address. Moreover, for buildings with a good energy score, the Solar Map automatically calculates what solar panels on the roof will cost and yield approximately.

Our solar panels are installed on your roof using a light mounting system. Afterwards, we connect the panels to the inverter, which will convert the direct current into usable alternating current. We then place a cable between the inverter and your meter box, allowing you to use the solar power for electrical appliances.

Using a home battery, you can maximize the efficiency of your solar panels. Thus, no more generated power is lost and you can simply use it when it is really needed. However, the cost depends on the capacity. For a smaller family, a smaller battery of 6kWh is usually sufficient. While for a larger family, a 10kWh battery is appropriate. Until the end of March 2023, you also enjoy a premium from the Flemish Government for this purchase.

With solar panels you can cover about 30 to 35% of your own consumption. By expanding your solar installation with a home battery, you can double this to 70%. This does mean that you will never be completely independent of your energy supplier.
