Households with solar panels face significant revenue loss

NL Times  

Households in the Netherlands with solar panels are seeing their annual returns shrink by 300 euros to nearly 500 euros due to rising feed-in charges and lower solar yields in 2024. Geert Wirken of Keuze.nl, a price comparison platform, said that households with eight solar panels lost approximately 300 euros in income last year, while those with twelve panels lost about 475 euros. Energy companies began implementing feed-in charges last year, citing increased investments needed to manage the growing supply of solar electricity during peak times and to prevent grid overload. "If you’ve borrowed money to buy solar panels or rent a home with them installed, these additional costs can leave you in a tough spot," Wirken said.
