What does a home battery cost?

A home battery starts at 3,800 euros excluding VAT, with installation and the energy management system included. That buys you a battery with 5 kWh of storage and 5 kW of power. Which battery suits you best depends on your situation, so it is wise to ask our advisers.

How much storage do I need?

That differs per household and depends on how much power you use and how much you generate with solar panels. For most households a 10 kWh battery is enough. Ask one of our colleagues for advice so you make the right choice.

Is there a subsidy for home batteries?

At the moment there is no subsidy for a home battery in the Netherlands. You can, however, reclaim the VAT on one from the tax office. That makes the investment a good deal more attractive, because it saves 21% of the purchase price.

Storing the energy you generate in a home battery

Would you like to enjoy solar energy without a worry, even when the sun is not shining? Then choose one of our modular home batteries. They store energy so you can use it cleverly whenever you want. Each battery holds 5 kWh, and because they stack you can extend easily to 10 kWh, 15 kWh or even 20 kWh.

What is a home battery?

A home battery stores electricity for use later. When your panels generate more than is being used at that moment, the surplus goes into the battery. That makes you less dependent on the grid and saves on your energy costs.

What a home battery costs

Which home battery you need depends very much on your situation. How much energy do you use? Do you have solar panels, and if so, how much do they generate? Are you on a fixed or a dynamic energy contract? Our advisers are happy to help you decide which battery suits you best.

How does a home battery work?

A home battery works by storing electricity in battery cells. To store energy it needs an inverter, which converts the power from your panels from alternating to direct current so the battery can hold it. When you want to use that power for your appliances, the inverter turns the direct current back into alternating current.

Combining a battery with solar panels

During the day your panels generate energy, but in the evening you draw power from the grid. With a battery connected to your panels you store the surplus and still enjoy the sun at night or on cloudy days.

Why a home battery is a smart choice

Storing energy in a home battery brings plenty of advantages:

Save and earn with your battery

On a dynamic energy contract the price changes every hour. With a home battery you can buy energy, or feed it back, exactly when the rates are favourable, which means you can even earn money. That makes a battery an interesting investment, even without solar panels.

Get more out of your solar energy

A home battery keeps the solar energy you do not use during the day for later, so you can run the washing machine in the evening, or anything else, without a second thought.

Depend less on the grid

Storing your own power makes you less dependent on your energy supplier, which matters all the more now the grid keeps getting busier.

A home battery with a dynamic energy contract

The picture below shows how a home battery on a dynamic contract handles power cleverly, thanks to the energy management system. The battery charges when prices are low. When prices are high, you use the power in the battery or sell it back to the grid.

A complete view of every flow of energy

Our energy management system connects all your systems seamlessly, so you use the energy you generate efficiently and your car is always charged. The system manages, monitors and improves how you use energy. That is the next step towards enjoying the sun without a worry, now and in the years to come.

Is a home battery worthwhile?

With energy management, charging stations and dynamic energy contracts, a home battery becomes more attractive all the time, and all the more now that net metering is expected to end on 1 January 2027. Once netting off is no longer possible, storing solar energy becomes more attractive still, because it makes you less dependent on the grid. High energy rates and the government's plans point the same way.

The advantages of a home battery

A home battery brings several advantages that help you use your energy better and lower your bill. Here are a few of them.

Lower energy costs: by storing what your panels generate during the day and using it in the evening, you depend less on the grid and pay less for your energy.

Trading on the imbalance market: you can take advantage of the imbalance market by selling energy when demand is high and supply is low, which means the energy you have stored can earn you money.

Saving on a dynamic energy contract: with a home battery and an energy management system you store energy when prices are low and use it when they are high, which gets the most out of your energy and cuts your costs.
