In 2027, the net metering scheme will change

Don't worry, a solar roof still pays off!

The current net metering scheme will be abolished on 1 January 2027. For homeowners with solar panels, this could mean that they will receive less money for electricity fed back into the grid. But even without net metering, investing in a solar roof remains a smart choice – both financially and in terms of sustainability.

At Solinso, a solar roof means more than just energy: it increases the value of your home, reduces your energy costs and contributes to a sustainable future. With a Solinso roof, you enjoy maximum yield, stylish integration and smart investment benefits, now and after 2027.

What exactly will change with the net metering scheme?

Until now, homeowners could offset surplus solar power that they did not use themselves against the electricity they purchased from their energy supplier. This made solar panels financially attractive, even if you produced more than you consumed at that moment.

This scheme will expire in 2027. Electricity fed back into the grid will no longer be fully offset against electricity consumed. For homeowners, this means that making smart use of your own solar power will become more important than ever.

How to get the most out of your solar roof

At Solinso, we always advise: use as much of your solar power as possible yourself. There are various ways to do this:

Our solar roof tiles are designed to efficiently capture solar energy while seamlessly integrating into the roof. Thanks to the smart positioning of the panels and their aesthetic integration into the roof design, you can make optimal use of sunlight – even with east or west orientations.

Financially it remains attractive

Self-generated solar power is still cheaper than electricity from the energy supplier. On average, a kWh from your own roof costs around 5 pence, while electricity from a supplier can easily cost around 26 pence per kWh.

This means that investing in a Solinso solar roof is still worthwhile. Even if you benefit less from the net metering scheme, you will still make structural savings on your energy bill – and spread the investment over the lifetime of the solar panels, which often last 25 years or more.

Climate gains remain undiminished

In addition to financial benefits, there is one important argument that always applies: solar energy is better for the climate. By choosing a Solinso Mystiek roof, you reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Smart use of solar power – for example, by running appliances during sunny periods – not only increases your own return, but also reduces the load on the electricity grid. This allows you to get the most out of your investment and contribute to a green energy transition.

Why choosing a Solinso roof?

Solinso combines design, functionality and energy yield. Our solar roof tiles are:

With a Solinso roof, you are not only inversting in solar panels, but in a complete roofing solution that combines aesthetics and sustainability.

Financial and sustainable benefit guaranteed

The end of the net metering scheme calls for a new way of thinking about solar power. Those who use energy efficiently will continue to benefit financially and contribute to a more sustainable world. For example, by installing solar panels on both the east and west sides of your roof, you can optimally capture the morning and evening sun. This allows you to use the electricity you generate when you actually need it, instead of producing a peak of electricity in the middle of the day when you are not using any appliances. This increases your self-sufficiency, reduces your dependence on the grid and makes your investment in a Solinso Mystiek roof even more profitable.

 

With a Solinso Mystiek roof, you get the most out of your investment, save money on your energy bills and make an important contribution to the energy transition. Even after 2027, solar energy will remain the smart choice for your home – and for the climate.
