Dutch Buddy® EnergyNLFree energy scanSolar without net metering
Solar panels continue producing electricity after Dutch net metering ends. Electricity used directly can reduce grid purchases, while exported electricity is handled under your supplier's conditions. A realistic calculation should separate those two flows.
A sensible first check
No sales pressure and no guarantee: start with an indication and have the final design and quotation checked by a qualified professional.
Use your own property and energy figures wherever possible.

Electricity used at the moment it is generated can replace electricity otherwise bought from the grid. Appliances, hot water, cooling and electric-car charging can sometimes be scheduled towards sunny hours.
Roof capacity is not the same as ideal system size. Consider current electricity use and credible future changes, then model summer export and winter purchases.
Panel orientation, shade, inverter design, degradation, electricity prices, maintenance and supplier conditions all affect the result.
Frequently asked questions
Not necessarily. Compare investment cost, expected generation and your direct-use profile. Timing should be based on your circumstances and a current quotation.
No general zero value should be assumed. Compensation and charges depend on applicable rules and supplier contracts.
No. Battery cost, efficiency, control strategy and price differences must be included.
