AD: The 'chaotic' world of solar panels, five questions and answers: 'An unfair system'
From one of our correspondents.
Never before have the Dutch installed so many solar panels on their homes in one year. Good news for our sustainable plans, you might say. But nothing could be further from the truth. At the end of 2023, the numbers dropped considerably. 'There is a lot of uncertainty about the net metering scheme.' A summary.

What's going on here?
One thing is certain: the number of solar panels in our country is growing rapidly. 'Last year, there was a historic growth among small-scale consumers (homes and small businesses, ed.). And that growth has been even greater in 2023,' says Niels Stet, spokesperson for grid operator Liander.
For example, households are increasingly unable to dispose of their electricity on the electricity grid. In the whole of 2023, this power problem occurred more than six thousand times at grid operator Liander, which operates in Gelderland, Flevoland, Friesland and North and South Holland.
Why is the draft in it?
Halfway through this year, the draft came in. Energy companies such as Vandebron and Budget Energie started charging for the feed-in of electricity. Much to the dissatisfaction of solar panel owners. They feel cheated. People who have doubts postpone its installation. Sustainability expert Dominique Doedens from Heeten is not surprised by the unrest.
