With solar panels, you save about € 1000 per year by generating your own energy. You need less gray energy and you're less dependent on the power grid. You earn back solar panels in 5 to 7 years on average. Everything you save after that, is a profit for your wallet.

You generate your own green energy

The sun is a natural energy source. With solar panels, you generate your own green energy. Turn on the washing machine or charge your electric car on a sunny day, for example. That way, you use the green energy of your solar panels right away. You do your part for the environment and you save more on your energy bill.

Your home becomes more efficient and valuable

Did you know solar panels increase the value of your house? That's because you improve the energy label of your house. You quickly level up with 1 or 2 labels this way, like from a C to A energy label. That's very beneficial for the value of your house and sometimes for your mortgage interest rates. More and more banks are giving out interest discounts for houses with an A energy label.

Solar panel quality is high

Through the years, solar panel technology has improved a lot. Solar panels generate more power and inverters have many useful technologies. The materials of these products are also stronger. This way, your solar roof often has a lifespan of over 25 years. Meanwhile, you get a lot of warranties on the installation, solar panels, and power.

Your payback period is short

Where the payback period for solar panels used to be around 10 years, it's now within 5 to 7 years. This large decrease is due to high energy prices, the lower selling price of the panels, and the high yield. Solar panels have a higher Watt-peak and last longer, so you can generate a lot of energy. As a result, you earn back your solar roof and start making a profit faster.

Solar panels are low maintenance
