Anytime & anywhere insight with the app
Exclusively A-brands
The app allows you to view the energy output of your solar panel in real time. With a smart meter, you can also see how much electricity you generate, what you consume and what you feed back. Compare one period with another, make it a competition with your neighbors and share your achievements. Only then will you really know what you earn from your new solar installation.
You also get instant insight into the status of your installation. If something is not working properly, you will see it reflected in the app. We will also be notified if your system is not working optimally. How convenient!

- The manufacturer’s warranty (if the factory of your solar panels goes out of business).
- The dispute resolution process (when a conflict arises between you and your solar panel supplier).
Frequently asked questions about solar panels
How many solar panels do I need?
This depends on a number of factors. Namely: how much electricity you use, the area of your roof and the power of the solar panels. An engineering inspection provides more insight into this. Curious about the possibilities? Request a no-obligation consultation.
How many solar panels on flat roof?
On average, a solar panel takes up an area of 1.5 m2. For a flat roof, you can take into account an area of 2.5 m2 per panel, including shadow. The angle of your roof affects the energy yield, but even on a flat roof, a solar panel can be installed at a 10-degree angle. This gives you minimal efficiency loss compared to an optimal angle of 35 degrees. For more information, please contact us.
How does a solar panel work?
Solar panels generate electricity for your central power. The solar cells in the panel convert sunlight into electricity (direct current). An inverter converts direct current into usable alternating current. Alternating current is what you use in your household. That’s why an inverter is an important part of your solar panel installation.
The technical name for a solar panel is PV panel. PV stands for ‘photovoltaic’ and converts photo (light) into volts (electricity). The complete system of solar panels is called a PV system.

What are benefits of solar panels?
The savings in energy costs is perhaps the biggest benefit of solar panels. In addition, they are sustainable, good for your home value and CO2 saving. We will tell you much more about this in a no-obligation consultation!
How many solar panels per m2?
To calculate how many solar panels per m2 will fit on your roof, we can perform a roof check. If parts of the roof are (sometimes) in the shade, it may be smarter to choose a parallel-connected system. Our consultant will make a shadow plan calculation to understand this. Schedule a consultation for more information.
How many solar panels on 1 group?
This depends on the type of inverter and the maximum power. It determines what you can connect to a maximum of 1 group. Of course, the inverter must be matched to the solar panels. This includes the capacity (WP), the roof slope and orientation of the roof, and your location. Our installers know how to handle this very well. Contact us for more information.
What types of solar panels are there?
There are several types of solar panels. The most common are the polycrystalline (poly) and the mono crystalline (mono) solar panels. Poly panels are blue and mono panels are black in color. Poly panels are slightly cheaper, but have almost the same power output as mono panels. The standard size of a solar panel is 1.65 x 1.0 M. We supply and install standard sizes of poly and mono solar panels. Contact us for more information!
How do solar panels save on energy costs?
On average, you will recoup the cost of the investment in a PV system within 6 years. After that, you can enjoy free electricity! In addition, you will save on your energy bill from the moment of installation. This is because you immediately use the energy from the solar panels on the appliances that are on in your home. Energy that you do not use will be deducted from your energy supplier’s annual bill. We check whether your energy meter is suitable for this. You may also reclaim the VAT on the purchase of a PV system.
There is no national subsidy for solar panels, but it is worth checking with your Municipality whether they offer a sustainability loan, or to organize a collective installation with your neighbors. For this we can offer a collective quotation. Contact us for more information.
What do solar panels cost?
The cost of solar panels varies by roof. This depends, for example, on the number of solar panels. Want to know more? We tell you all about the cost of solar panels.
Curious about the yield of solar panels on your roof? Do the quick savings check. In a no-obligation consultation, we will tell you more about your options with solar panels, the solar panel price and your savings!
What do solar panels produce?
The amount of power generated by a solar panel is called yield. In other words, solar panel yield is the amount of kilowatt hours of electricity (kWh) that a solar panel produces. This is related to the power (Watt peak). The greater the power, the higher the yield of the solar panel (depending on number of sun hours and temperature). May, June and July are usually the best months for solar panels. Contact us for more information.
What is the efficiency of solar panels?
Efficiency is the amount of sunlight that can be converted into energy. Actually, then, we mean what solar panels bring you financially. This can be different on each roof (due to location, slope or shading). We can calculate this accurately for you.
