Store your own power with a home battery
A home battery stores your solar energy so you can use it in the evening or to charge your car. A certified installer fits it, preferably together with your EV charger and solar panels, set up to work together, and we tell you honestly if a battery does not pay off for you yet.
Home battery installation in the Netherlands
A home battery stores the electricity your solar panels generate during the day, so you can use it in the evening, overnight, or to charge your electric car. A typical system holds 5 to 20 kWh and costs between EUR 3,500 and EUR 14,000 installed, including VAT. Most households will not earn it back on savings alone, so we do not promise a payback time.
Why it matters now: the Dutch net-metering scheme (salderingsregeling) ends on 1 January 2027, in one go. Today you can offset everything you feed back to the grid, but from 2027 that feed-in becomes far less rewarding: suppliers must pay at least half the bare supply rate until 2030, yet after feed-in charges most households keep only around half a cent per kWh net. A battery lets you use more of your own solar power instead of selling it cheaply. If you drive electric, a charger with solar charging often does this more cheaply, because the car already has a large battery.
Good to know
- Capacity 5 to 20 kWh
- EUR 3,500 to 14,000 installed, incl. VAT
- 21% VAT, no zero rate on batteries
- Net metering ends 1 January 2027
- Installed according to NEN 1010
We tune your battery into one smart system together with your solar panels and EV charger, with a free assessment of your usage. Battery prices are on request until our battery range is published.
Use your own energy when you need it
With the net-metering scheme ending in 2027, self-consumption is the smart move.
More self-consumption
Use more of your own solar energy in the evening instead of feeding it back for very little.
Lower energy bill
Avoid buying back expensive grid power in the evening when your panels are not producing.
Smart energy management
We tune charging, storage and consumption so everything works together automatically.

Home battery
Indicative market prices for 2026, including installation and 21% VAT, range between EUR 3,500 and EUR 14,000 (5 to 20 kWh). Our own battery prices are on request: brand, size and your meter box determine the price.
There is no honest standard amount. Most households will not earn back a home battery on savings alone. We calculate it with your own usage and tell you if a battery does not pay off for you.
The Dutch net-metering scheme ends on 1 January 2027, in one go rather than phased out. After that, using your own solar power is worth more than feeding it back to the grid. That does not make a battery profitable by itself.
Yes. Often the first step is a charger with solar charging, which charges the car directly from your surplus without a battery. If the car is away during the day, or you have a dynamic contract, a battery can be useful. The charger and battery are then set up to work together.
It depends on your daily consumption and solar production. Most households choose 5 to 10 kWh, while larger homes with an EV often go for 10 to 15 kWh. We calculate the ideal capacity for your situation.
Only batteries with a backup function keep selected circuits running during an outage. If backup power is important to you, we advise on the setup that fits your needs.
Installed correctly, yes. LFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for their stability. The battery should be placed in a dry, ventilated room, not on an escape route, with a smoke detector nearby, and installed according to the NEN 1010 standard.
