Compare the complete energy contract

Solar export tariffs and charges in the Netherlands

Solar households may encounter export compensation, export-related charges, fixed fees and different electricity prices. The best comparison uses one annual import-and-export profile across all offers.

A sensible first check

What should you compare?

No sales pressure and no guarantee: start with an indication and have the final design and quotation checked by a qualified professional.

01

Use the same kWh profile for every offer

Use your own property and energy figures wherever possible.

02

Include fixed and export-related charges

Use your own property and energy figures wherever possible.

03

Check whether prices are fixed, variable or dynamic

Use your own property and energy figures wherever possible.

Compensation is only one line

A supplier may advertise an export rate while applying other contract charges. Calculate the estimated annual total rather than ranking offers by one number.

Contract type changes the calculation

Fixed, variable and dynamic contracts allocate price risk differently. Dynamic export values can vary by hour and may be low or negative during periods of abundant generation.

Review conditions at renewal

Rates and charging structures can change. Check the offer, contract summary and applicable terms before switching or renewing.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you decide.

Which supplier has the best solar tariff?

That changes and depends on your import, export and contract preferences. Use current offers and your own annual profile.

Can export prices be negative?

Under some dynamic arrangements, hourly market prices can be negative. Contract treatment and charges still depend on the supplier.

Does Dutch Buddy sell energy contracts?

Dutch Buddy provides comparison guidance and does not claim to be the electricity supplier in this route.
