Buying home battery in Den Bosch

Are you generating more power with your solar panels than you use immediately? With a home battery, you can store this surplus and use it yourself later at a suitable time. So you don't have to supply everything back to the grid immediately. This way, you make optimal use of your own solar power, at times that suit you.

From 1 January 2027, the net-metering scheme will disappear. This makes it smarter to use or store as much power as possible yourself instead of feeding it back. In Den Bosch, you see more and more houses with solar panels, and the need for practical solutions grows along with them.

At Shift to Solar, you don't get a standard package. We look at your wishes and situation in Den Bosch together. So you will always find a home battery that really suits your household. From initial selection to installation: we take care of it, completely customised.

Calculate the right capacity for your home battery immediately

How big should your home battery be? That depends on the number of solar panels, your energy consumption and the peaks in a day. Do you have a large family or are you away from home a lot? These differences matter for the capacity that suits your home.

Our calculation tool gives you a quick first idea of the capacity needed. Think of it as a handy start, not binding advice. Small deviations in consumption or panels may affect the outcome.

Why a home battery in Den Bosch is becoming increasingly interesting

Power consumption in the Netherlands is changing rapidly with the rise of solar panels. Also in Den Bosch, the electricity grid sometimes gets overloaded, while the rules around feed-in are getting stricter. Smart use of your own energy is therefore becoming increasingly important.

Solar panels and grid load

On sunny days, your panels often generate more power than you need directly. This surplus is normally fed back into the grid.

This creates pressure on the electricity grid. Feed-in compensation is decreasing and grid operators cannot take up all the power indefinitely. Increasingly, you hear that feed-in is becoming less attractive.

With a home battery, you catch this. You store the surplus and use it yourself later, without having to change your habits. That immediately feels a lot more efficient.

Abolition of the net-metering scheme

From 1 January 2027, the net-metering scheme will be abolished. Feed-in electricity will then no longer be settled at the full tariff, but paid out at a lower rate. This will make feed-in less attractive.

The efficiency of your solar panels will soon revolve around what you use yourself. With a home battery, you can harness much more of your own solar power. That suddenly makes such a battery a logical investment.

What is a home battery and how does it work in practice?

A home battery ensures that the solar power you do not use immediately is simply stored at your home. So you don't feed it back to the grid immediately, but keep it in reserve for later.

The goal is simple: consume as much of your own generated solar power as possible yourself. So even when the sun isn't shining, you can benefit from power from your own roof.

This is how you store solar power for later use

During the day, especially when you are at work, your panels often produce more power than you are consuming at the time. That surplus would normally go into the grid.

With a home battery, the surplus is stored first. You use this power later, for example in the evening or at night, without sacrificing comfort.

Does the battery run out sometime? Then the system automatically switches to the grid. This increases your own consumption from around 30% to often 60% or even more, depending on your situation.

Home battery combined with solar panels

The home battery cleverly works together with your inverter. You don't have to set anything yourself: the system automatically chooses when to store or use power.

Via an app or monitor, you can see exactly how much electricity you generate, store and consume. So you always keep an overview, without complicated hassles.

Which home battery suits your home?

Choosing a home battery is about more than just the number of kilowatt hours. Look at your consumption pattern, peak times, and whether you have plans for an electric car or heat pump, for example. That makes each situation unique.

Below are some recognisable real-life situations. Perhaps you recognise yourself in one of these examples. It gives direction for your choice.

• Small household
  Solar panels: 6-8 panels
  Annual consumption: + 3,000 kWh
  Indicative battery: 3-5 kWh
• Average family
  Solar panels: 8-12 panels
  Annual consumption: + 4,500 kWh
  Indicative battery: 5-10 kWh
• Large household
  Solar panels: 12-16 panels
  Annual consumption: + 6,500 kWh
  Indicative battery: 10-15 kWh
• With electric car or heat pump
  Solar panels: 14+ panels
  Annual consumption: 7,000+ kWh
  Indicative battery: 10-20 kWh

Common mistakes when choosing a home battery

Choosing a home battery seems easy, but there are pitfalls. Quickly choosing a model often leads to disappointment. That is why good advice is important.

• Choosing a battery that is structurally too big or too small, which means your storage capacity is not used efficiently
• Mainly looking at the purchase price, without considering use, efficiency and lifespan
• No allowance for future additions, such as a charging station, heat pump or additional solar panels

Do you recognise these mistakes? With good advice, you can easily avoid them. We always look at your situation before you choose.

What about the power grid in Den Bosch?

Enexis manages the power grid in Den Bosch. Structural grid congestion applies throughout Brabant, and Den Bosch is no exception. The city is growing rapidly with new housing estates where solar panels and heat pumps are installed as standard, but the grid cannot handle this extra capacity. A home battery is particularly relevant here: you store your solar energy locally and are not dependent on a grid that simply cannot keep up with the growth.
