Stimulation Sustainable Energy Production (SDE +) is the name for the subsidy that provides for the development of renewable energy supplies in the Netherlands. Companies and organizations that produce renewable energy can use this SDE + subsidy.
How and for how long is SDE + subsidy paid out?
The grant is awarded for 15 years. Payment is made on the basis of monthly advances and an annual final payment.
What happens if I have not been able to use all energy production?
If you have not used all subsidized production, that can be taken to a next year. This is regulated in the SDE + banking decision. In which both forwardbanking and backwardbanking are arranged.
Financing
Can I finance the installation of my solar panels?
Yes, there are many possibilities to finance your solar panels. Green Experts advises and helps you with a suitable financing plan.
Is VAT due on SDE + subsidy?
No, you are not liable for VAT on SDE + subsidy.
Maintenance
Is maintenance required?
Yes, your entire PV plant needs regular maintenance to guarantee optimal yield. Green Experts takes care of the management and maintenance of your power plant during the term of the subsidy..
Installation
How do I know if my roof is suitable for solar panels?
Green Experts performs a quick scan, in which the condition of the roof is checked. We work together with an architectural consultant, who can make calculations regarding any necessary adjustments.
How soon after the grant of the SDE + subsidy does the installation have to be installed?
For small systems (less than 1 MW) the installation must be operational within one and a half years after the date of disposal. This is 3 years for larger installations.
What happens to my installation when my company is moving?
If you wish, you can also move the installation, because the SDE + subsidy is name-related. It is also possible to transfer the installation to the new owner.
