Renewable Energy Generation

Investing in solar energy has many benefits. With solar panels, you can generate and use your own renewable energy. This reduces your CO2 emissions and means you’ll buy less electricity from your energy provider. Do you have a question? Please email duurzaam@voorschoten.nl.

Solar Panels on Your Own Roof

If you want to install solar panels, it’s important to know whether your roof gets enough sun. Check your roof’s solar potential online at www.zonatlas.nl.

You may need to apply for a permit to install solar panels. Is your home located in a protected village area, or do you live in a historic building? If so, additional rules apply. In any case, check whether you need a permit at www.omgevingsloket.nl. 

Solar Panels in Collaboration with Your Homeowners' Association

Do you live in a house (upper or lower level) or an apartment and are you part of a homeowners’ association (VvE)? If so, you likely share ownership of the roof and can install solar panels together. Check out the options on the Milieucentraal website at.
