Operation of your solar panels

Solar panels consist of a number of solar cells, usually made of silicon. When sunlight falls on these cells, photons (particles of light) are absorbed by the cells. The energy from the photons causes the electrons in the solar cells to move. This creates an electric current. Solar cells are designed to create an electric field, causing the electrons to flow in one direction, resulting in a direct current (DC). The direct current generated by the solar panels must be converted to alternating current (AC) to be usable by household appliances and to be fed back into the grid. This conversion is done by an inverter, an essential part of the solar panel system. The converted AC power can be used directly in your home to power electrical appliances.

Advantages of buying solar panels

Solar panels are obviously good for the environment, but they offer many more benefits than this alone. Solar panels help lower your energy bills significantly. Solar panels also require little maintenance. An annual cleaning and periodic inspection are usually enough to keep them in optimal condition. By generating your own energy, you reduce your dependence on energy suppliers and benefit from lower energy costs.

In addition, this reduced dependence ensures that if there are grid failures, you experience less inconvenience, and if energy prices fluctuate, you also experience less inconvenience. Homes with solar panels are more attractive on the market and can fetch a higher selling price. This is because potential buyers appreciate the lower energy costs and the environmentally friendly choice. Modern solar panels have a lifespan of 25 years or more. This means you can enjoy years of renewable energy. As a result, you will have recouped the investment within just a few years.

Subsidy for solar panels in Hengelo possible?

It is no longer possible to get a subsidy on the purchase and installation of solar panels in Hengelo municipality. However, you can take advantage of two schemes. The first scheme is the net-metering scheme. This scheme makes it possible, in case of a surplus of produced energy, to supply this surplus back to the energy network for a small fee. This scheme is still valid until 2025, after which it will be slowly phased out. In addition, you can take advantage of the 0% VAT rate. This means that you no longer pay VAT when purchasing and installing your panels. Previously, this was already a reduced VAT of 6%, but now it has dropped to 0%.
