With the headquarters in Amsterdam, Zonnefabriek naturally has a strong connection with our capital. Many of the oldest Zonnefabriek installations can be found here, and we are now familiar with the peculiarities of working in densely built environments, on monuments and houseboats.
Sustainability is an increasingly important theme in Amsterdam. Residents with solar panels ensure that approximately 1380 kilos less CO2 is emitted annually. They also save an average of around 745 euros per year on their energy bill. Would you like that too? We are happy to help you.
To achieve maximum energy output with solar panels in Amsterdam, it is important to consider a number of specific challenges:
Homeowners in Amsterdam often deal with limited roof surface. Because multiple homes share the same roof surface, the available space for solar panels per home is smaller than in other parts of the Netherlands.
Due to high-rise buildings and objects such as chimneys, there is more shadow formation on roofs in Amsterdam than on roofs of detached houses in an undeveloped environment. To achieve maximum return from solar panels, this must be taken into account when designing the system.
Finally, homes in Amsterdam may be monuments or protected cityscapes. If you want to have solar panels installed, you must take into account applying for a permit for this.
If you want to equip your home in Amsterdam with solar panels, it is important that you first check whether your solar panels may be installed on your home. If your home is not a monument or protected cityscape, then you can have solar panels installed without a permit.
Many homes in Amsterdam share the same roof. In such cases, the homeowners together form a VvE (Owners' Association). This means the space for solar panels is limited because the available roof surface is shared with multiple homeowners. To achieve maximum return from the available roof surface, it is important to use the right solar panels. The higher the efficiency of the solar panels, the higher the energy output per square meter of roof surface.
When installing solar panels in Amsterdam, proper consideration must be given beforehand to any shadow on the solar panels. By placing the solar panels as optimally as possible and by choosing inverters that can minimize the negative effects of shadow, our advisors in Amsterdam ensure maximum return from your solar panels.
