When it comes to PV-installations bigger than 10kW there are still grants in place. Obviously, these are not as abundant as in the early days.  However, consider that the average price of solar panels has decreased considerably. As a result, the price drop in some cases amounted to almost 75% . Needless to say, this makes projects today very affordable.  

Whether you can get grants (or subsidies) in the form of green energy certificates as well as other benefits, depends largely on the region where you are located. 

To help you understand we have created a seperate ‘grants and subsidies‘-page where you can compare the various legislation per region.

Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all formula to calculate the exact cost of a PV-installation. 

Prices depend on a number of factors, such as:

1. The type of roof;
2. The presence or absense of shade;
3. Your converter

To get the highest possible yield, all these factors should be closely examined. Therefore, get in touch with Ministry Of Solar for all additional information.
