Tip 1: register your solar panels

Customer behind laptop

It's important to register your solar panels with your network operator as soon as possible. The network operator checks if your energy meter is suitable for feed-in. Go to Energieleveren.nl and enter your information.

Tip 2: request a new energy label

Solar roof on house

With solar panels on your roof, your house becomes more energy-efficient. This has a positive effect on the energy label of your house, which increases the value. Want to move soon or are you going to set a new mortgage rate? First request a new energy label. The costs for this differ per city and municipality.

Tip 3: use as much of your own solar power as possible

Family cooking

It's becoming more and more important that you use the power you generated yourself as much as possible. Turn on your washing machine or charge your electric car on a sunny afternoon, for example. That way, you use your own energy right away and save more on your energy bill.

Tip 4: register for the Buddy Bonus
