Buy home battery in Dronten

Do you have solar panels and notice that you produce more power during the day than you consume directly? Then that surplus automatically disappears into the electricity grid, while you often need that energy yourself later on. With a home battery, you capture this power and use it at a later time. This way, you get more out of your own solar energy and stay in control of your power consumption.

This will become increasingly important in the coming years. From 1 January 2027, the net-metering scheme will end completely. Delivered solar power will then no longer be offset against your own consumption, but paid out at a lower rate. This will make it increasingly attractive to use or store self-generated energy directly.

Dronten has many single-family houses, spacious plots and relatively many solar panels per roof. In both the older neighbourhoods and the newer extensions, many households already generate much of their own electricity. Shift to Solar helps homeowners in Dronten choose and install a home battery that suits their home, energy consumption and future plans. Not a standard package, but a solution that logically fits your situation.

Calculate the right capacity for your home battery immediately

The capacity of a home battery determines how much of your generated power you can store and use yourself at a later time. A well-chosen capacity prevents two common problems: a battery that runs out of power too quickly or an investment in storage that you make only limited use of in practice.

Which capacity fits best varies from one home to another. Among other things, it depends on the number of solar panels, your annual power consumption and especially when your energy use. In Dronten, for example, we see many households with relatively high consumption in the afternoon and evening, precisely at times when the sun is no longer shining. This directly affects the ideal size of a home battery.

With our calculation tool, you can quickly get a first impression of which battery capacity might make sense for your situation. This result helps with orientation, but is not definitive advice. After all, every home and energy profile is different.

Want to be sure that the chosen capacity will continue to fit in the long term? With a no-obligation quote, Shift to Solar looks beyond the calculation tool. We analyse your energy consumption, the yield of your solar panels, peak moments and any future plans, such as electric driving or expanding your installation. Based on this, we recommend a home battery that is technically sound and remains pleasant to use on a daily basis.

Why a home battery in Dronten is becoming increasingly interesting

The way households generate and use electricity is changing rapidly. Solar panels are now on many roofs, but the power they produce is by no means always used when it is available. At the same time, regulations surrounding feed-in are changing and the electricity grid is under pressure. This makes it increasingly important to be smarter about using your own generated energy.

Solar panels and grid pressure

On sunny days, solar panels often generate more power than you need in your home at that time. This extra energy is automatically fed back into the electricity grid. In Dronten, too, we see the grid increasingly reaching its limits at peak times, especially in neighbourhoods where many homes have solar panels.

Grid operators need to keep the grid stable and cannot take in unlimited power. As a result, feed-in is becoming less obvious and fees are under increasing pressure. This makes the financial benefit of feed-in less predictable than in the past.

With a home battery, you take a different approach. You store the solar power generated during the day and use it yourself later, for example in the evening when your consumption is higher. This way, you get more out of your own solar panels and reduce your dependence on the grid, without having to change your daily routines.

The phase-out of the balancing scheme

Besides the increasing pressure on the electricity grid, the regulations are also changing. From 1 January 2027, the net-metering scheme will end completely. Returned solar power can then no longer be settled at the full electricity tariff, but will be paid out at a lower rate.

This dramatically changes the efficiency of solar panels. Not feed-in, but smart own consumption becomes the key. A home battery makes this possible by storing excess solar power and using it later, when it will benefit you most.

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

A home battery is a system you use to store electricity for later use. The battery captures the power your solar panels generate, but which you do not need right away at that moment. Instead of delivering this energy back to the grid, you store it in your home.

The goal is simple: make more use of your own generated power, at times when the sun is not shining.

This is how you store solar power for later use

During the day, consumption is relatively low in many households. Residents are at work, appliances are switched off and solar panels actually supply a lot of power. Without a home battery, this energy is automatically fed back to the grid.

With a home battery, this power is stored first. As soon as you need energy later in the day, for example in the evening or at night, you use the stored energy. Only when the battery is empty do you automatically switch to mains power.

In practice, this increases the proportion of own power consumption from an average of about 30% to 60% or more, depending on your situation.

Home battery combined with solar panels

A home battery works together with your solar panels and the inverter. The inverter converts the generated solar energy into usable power for your home. Smart control then automatically determines when storing or discharging makes the most sense.

You don't have to do anything for this yourself. Through an app or monitoring system, however, you do have insight into your energy production, storage and consumption. So you can see exactly how your own power is being used.

Which home battery suits your home in Dronten?

Choosing the right home battery is about more than just the number of kilowatt hours. Storage capacity is important, but at least as decisive is how and when you consume power. Think about evening peaks, charging an electric car or plans for a heat pump in the future.

In Dronten, we see many homes with relatively large numbers of solar panels and higher own consumption. As a result, it pays to look beyond a standard solution.

The examples below provide initial direction and help with orientation. They are meant as an indication. The final capacity always depends on your home, energy use and future plans.

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

House with electric car or heat pump

• Solar panels: 14+ panels
• Annual consumption: 7,000+ kWh
• Indicative battery: 10-20 kWh

Want to know what this means concretely for your home in Dronten? With our calculation tool, you can get an initial estimate of the storage capacity you need. For exact and future-proof advice, we will be happy to take a closer look at your situation.

Common mistakes when choosing a home battery

• Choosing a battery that is structurally too small or too large for actual consumption
• Looking only at the purchase price, without considering return and usage
• No allowance for future additions, such as additional solar panels, a charging station or a heat pump

By understanding your energy profile and plans well in advance, a home battery remains a logical and cost-effective choice even in the long run.

Subsidies and schemes for home batteries

When buying a home battery, subsidies and schemes sometimes come into play. At the same time, it is important to look at these realistically, as the possibilities vary from one situation to another and change regularly.

National schemes and VAT benefits

For home batteries, national schemes are limited. In some cases, VAT refunds are possible, for example when the battery is used in combination with solar panels and meets certain conditions. This varies per home and installation.

We always clearly explain what does and does not apply in your situation, so there are no surprises afterwards.

Provincial and local opportunities

In addition to national schemes, there may be provincial or local initiatives. These are often temporary and not available for every home. Together, we look at what applies to your situation and give a realistic picture of the possibilities.
