HOW MUCH DO SOLAR PANELS COST?

For many, the cost of solar panels is a major point of concern. Many people think that solar panels are extremely expensive. However, over the past few years, the costs of solar panels have come down considerably. On average, with the solar panels from Sunleaves, you will recoup the cost of your solar panels within 6 years.

When it comes to solar panels, what matters is the right price-quality ratio per panel, per total price or the costs for solar panels per m2. Just as you can choose how much you want to spend with the purchase of, say, a new car, you can also make solar panels as expensive as you like.

However, you should always ask yourself whether the investment will pay for itself in terms of returns. For instance, there are many ‘new’ developments that are beneficial for the yield, but comparatively still quite costly. Even if you work on the basis of per square metre, per solar panel or per total price, the costs can vary quite considerably in comparison.

Moreover, there are also a huge number of solar panel suppliers. For example, you can even buy solar panels at ikea nowadays.

SOLAR PANELS COSTS WORKED OUT IN DETAIL – QUALITY IS A CHOICE

A good example are what are known as glass-glass solar panels. With glass-glass solar panels, in addition to a glass plate on top of the solar panels, a glass plate is also placed underneath. This results in lower yield losses over the lifetime of the solar panels. Research has shown that, over 25 years, the glass-glass solar panels lose on average 5 percent of their yield compared to normal solar panels. In other words, a good development in itself. Also in terms of costs.

SOLAR PANELS COST PRICE PER ROOF

The cost of these solar panels, however, is on average 20 per cent higher than what a regular solar panel costs. To sum up, investing 20 percent more now in order to have 5 percent less loss of yield over 25 years is not a good investment.

It is always a good idea to check whether the brand on offer features in well-regarded lists such as those published by the Dutch Consumers’ Association (Consumentenbond). Apart from that, it’s a good idea to take your roof into account. The costs of solar panels on a flat roof are different again for solar panels on a sloped roof.
