Sustainable energy generation

Investing money in solar energy has many advantages. With solar panels, you can generate and use your own sustainable energy. As a result, you emit less CO2 and purchase less electricity from your energy supplier. Do you have a question? Please send an email to duurzaam@voorschoten.NL.

Solar panels on your own roof

If you want to install solar panels, it is important to know whether your roof is suitable for solar energy. Check the solar potential of your roof online via www.zonatlas.NL.

You may need to apply for a “ licence ” (building 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, be sure to check the permit requirements at www.omgevingsloket.nl. 

Solar panels together with your VvE

Do you live in an upstairs apartment, downstairs apartment, or a flat and are you part of an Association of Owners (VvE)? Then you are likely joint owners of the roof and can install solar panels together. Check the possibilities on the website of Milieucentraal.
