Verantwoord DuurzaamGenerate your own power and save
Solar panels are one of the smartest investments in your home. But what do they really deliver? In this article we set out the savings, payback time and lifespan.
What it saves on average
An average household saves around 1,200 euro per year on the energy bill with solar panels. The exact amount depends on your consumption, the orientation of your roof and the number of panels.
Payback time and lifespan
For most homes the payback time is between five and eight years. After that you generate electricity almost for free, because good panels last up to 25 years.
What to look out for
- The condition and orientation of your roof
- The capacity of the panels and the inverter
- Your own consumption throughout the year
- The phase-out of the net-metering scheme
Getting more from your panels
Especially now that net metering is being phased out, it pays to store your own power with a home battery. That way you use in the evening what you generate during the day, instead of feeding it back cheaply.
