Solar panels for individuals

If you have an annual consumption of 3500 kWh, we will install a production of 4200 kWh. The extra 20% of solar panels gives your installation a better and higher efficiency. Our specialist can make an accurate calculation based on your specific

In most cases, you do not need special permission to install solar panels, unless you live in a conservation area or own a listed building. Always check local regulations to be sure.

Solar panels remain a smart investment. They reduce your energy costs, increase the value of your home and contribute to a sustainable future. With rising energy prices and continuous technological improvements, solar panels remain a cost-effective choice.

From 2024, there will be no more subsidies for solar panels. This is also positive news, as it means that the investment is also profitable without them. This only has a limited impact on the payback period.

Yes, solar panels make sense even with the digital meter. The payback period may be slightly longer, but you will still save on your energy bills and contribute to a more sustainable world. Moreover, there are other ways to get the most out of your solar panels, such as using a home battery.

Home battery

A home battery likes room temperature, so not too cold or too hot. Batteries do have operating temperatures well beyond that. It is important to keep the battery out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maximise life and efficiency.

A 10 kWh home battery may be enough to power an average household for one day, depending on consumption. Higher battery capacity may be needed for households with high energy consumption or for use during extended periods without sunlight.

When a battery is fully charged and energy is still being produced by your solar panels, the excess energy is injected into the grid. Consult your current energy supplier to find out what you can receive for feed-in to the grid.

The storage time of power in a home battery depends on the capacity of the battery and your energy consumption. On average, a home battery can store power for a few days to a week, depending on how intensively you use the stored energy. Your battery is naturally recharged by the sun every day. We therefore size your battery based on your average household consumption such as cooking, washing and urinating.

The profitability of a home battery is high in most cases. Everything depends on your own consumption profile. That is why we draw up a consumption profile or use the data from your digital counter to make a good simulation. The higher the purchase price of electricity and the lower the feed-in tariff or injection tariff, the more efficiency you can get from a home battery. Solled has been installing home batteries since 2021, so it can show you live that the efficiencies are indeed high for a home battery installation.

Charging posts

Yes, you can make your charging station accessible to others. This can be done, for example, by using a publicly accessible charge point or by using a sharing platform where you make the charge post available for use by others. This can sometimes even be an additional source of income.

Yes, it is possible to charge your car without a charge card at some charging stations that use apps or contactless payments via credit card or mobile payment systems. However, a charge card often offers more convenience and access to a larger network of charging points.

In the future, more charging stations will be equipped with a payment option via the classic bank card or bank app.

The best charging pass for individuals depends on your specific charging needs and travel habits. Popular charging cards in Belgium are those from Ecotap, Allego, and Plugsurfing. These offer access to a wide network of charging points and have different tariffs and subscription options.

In Belgium, there are several subsidies, premiums and tax breaks available for individuals who want to install a charging station. Here are some of the most important ones:

1. Flemish Government
The Flemish government offers some subsidies and tax breaks for installing a charging station:
Premium for Charging Poles: The Flemish government has a premium for individuals who want to install a charging pole at home. The conditions and amount of the premium can vary, so it is important to check the specific details on the Flemish government’s website.

2. Federal tax benefits
Tax rebate: Private individuals installing a charging station may be eligible for a tax rebate. For charge posts installed between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2024, a tax reduction of 45% on the installation costs applies, with a maximum of €1,500 per charge post per taxpayer. This applies when the charging station is set publicly.

3. Local Grants
Several municipalities and provinces in Belgium offer additional subsidies for installing charging stations. Conditions and availability can vary widely, so it is advisable to check with your own municipality or province.

4. Brussels-Capital Region and Wallonia
Specific subsidies and grants may also be available in the Brussels-Capital Region and Wallonia. It is wise to check the websites of these regional governments for the most up-to date information.

A charging station is like any other consumer in your home; You can place a charging station on your own property without a special permit. The distance to the electric sign will determine the thickness of the connection cable. For the current generation of charging stations, we also need a signal cable or UTP cable between the charging station and the cabinet.

Dynamic energy contracts

Current dynamic energy prices vary daily and even hourly. Prices are set every day at 1pm for the following day. You can usually view these prices via your energy supplier’s app or website.

A dynamic energy contract can be beneficial if you are flexible in your energy consumption and can take advantage of lower tariffs during off-peak hours. However, it is important to consider the possible fluctuations in energy prices.

Since you will be buying and selling power by quarter-hourly value, you need a digital counter to measure this. So with an analogue meter, you cannot yet have a dynamic contract.
