Zonnefabriek knows how important it is to work with a reliable certified party to ensure that the entire project runs smoothly.
Zonnefabriek has more than 10 years of experience and has, in addition to thousands of residential installations, a lot of experience in realizing beautiful larger projects. We have helped many SMEs and associations with making their business more sustainable through commercial solar panels.
Making your company or association more sustainable has always been of great importance, but from July 1, 2019, the energy saving obligation has been introduced. This means that if your company uses 50,000 kWh of electricity or 25,000 m3 of natural gas per year, you are obliged to take energy-saving measures with a payback period of 5 years or less.
Zonnefabriek is happy to help you comply with this obligation in the best possible way. What makes us so special is our continuous choice for quality, in our products, but also in the way we work and the service we provide. From our experience, we know that quality and care deliver the best result (and therefore return) in the long term.
Below you will find an overview of our working method. The duration varies per project and depends partly on you as the client, below is illustrated what the process looks like in the ideal situation. We strive to deliver your installation within three months.
There are various options to receive a subsidy for solar panels for SMEs. The solar panel subsidies that could be interesting for your commercial solar panels are: offsetting, EIA, SDE++, KIA, MIA, VAMIL and DEI+. Below is explained what these schemes entail and what they can mean for you.
Offsetting is a form of solar panel subsidy that means you can offset the sustainably generated electricity supplied back to the grid with the electricity you took from the grid, so you do not pay variable electricity costs. You only pay your supplier the positive balance of consumption minus generated energy. This scheme is regulated in the Electricity Act and is implemented by your electricity supplier.
The EIA is the energy investment deduction and can be seen as a solar panel subsidy in the form of a tax deduction scheme. If entrepreneurs invest in energy-saving business assets and sustainable energy, this scheme offers direct financial benefits. In addition to the depreciation of the business asset, this subsidy for commercial solar panels offers the option to deduct an additional amount from the profit, in 2020 this is 45% deduction of the investment.
SDE++ is the Stimulation of Sustainable Energy Transition subsidy. In the climate agreement, the goal has been set to emit 49% less CO2 in 2030, compared to 1990. This subsidy is intended for producing renewable energy or CO2-reducing technologies in a cost-effective manner. The goal is to compensate for the difference between the market price for sustainable energy and the market price for fossil energy. Companies in sectors such as industry, mobility, electricity, agriculture and the built environment are eligible for this subsidy. The subsidy is granted for a period of 12 to 15 years.
The KIA is the small-scale investment deduction. This is a deduction from profit and interesting for companies with a small consumer connection. If you invest in business assets in a financial year, you may be eligible for the small-scale investment deduction (KIA). The amount you can deduct depends on the amount invested in the financial year.
The MIA and VAMIL are two different schemes but are often combined. Both schemes use the Environmental List, which lists all business assets that are eligible.
The MIA is the environmental investment deduction. This is a possibility to reduce taxable profit. Up to 36 percent of the investment amount can be deducted from taxable profit, but the exact percentage of the deduction depends on the environmental effects and the commonality of the business asset.
The VAMIL is the Random depreciation of environmental investments. The VAMIL offers the possibility to depreciate an investment at any time. An advantage of this faster depreciation is reducing taxable profit, so you pay less tax in that year.
The DEI+ is a subsidy for pilot projects and demonstration projects. The projects must be innovative. Pilot projects are intended to test and improve a new technology in a test setup that represents practice. Demonstration projects are intended for investing in a production installation that remains in use after the subsidy project
Below you will find an impression of various commercial solar panel projects where we have been able to realize solar panels for HOAs, solar panels for cooperatives and solar panels for companies.
