What should you consider?

To achieve maximum energy yield with solar panels in Haarlem, it is important to consider a number of specific challenges:

  • Limited space
  • Shadow
  • A possible building permit

Limited space, shadow and permits

Homeowners in Haarlem often deal with limited roof surface area. 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, roofs in Haarlem experience shadow formation more often than roofs of detached houses in undeveloped areas. To achieve maximum return from solar panels, this must be taken into account when designing the system.

Finally, homes in Haarlem 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.

How do I get more yield from solar panels in Haarlem?

If you want to equip your home in Haarlem with solar panels, it is important that you first check whether solar panels are allowed to be placed on your home. If your home is not a monument or protected cityscape, you can have solar panels installed without a permit.

Is my home's roof large enough for solar panels?

Many homes in Haarlem share the same roof. In such cases, the homeowners jointly form a homeowners association (VvE). 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 yield per square meter of roof surface.

Shadow on solar panels

When installing solar panels in Haarlem, proper consideration must be given in advance 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 Haarlem ensure maximum return from your solar panels.
