Why this matters beyond your electricity bill

The case for home solar is personal economics and civic responsibility simultaneously.

📡

Grid losses are built-in

Electricity loses 8–15% traveling from generation to your home. Rooftop solar produces at the point of use — zero transmission loss.

🔋

The battery completes the picture

Solar without a battery means exporting surplus at low feed-in rates and buying back at full retail. A home battery closes that gap.

🌍

Your decision matters

EU policy cannot decarbonize the grid alone. Every household that installs solar reduces demand and lowers costs for everyone. The economy becomes green one household at a time.

EU Solar Rooftop Initiative: Mandatory Installations Coming to New Buildings by 2027

The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) mandates solar installations on all new non-residential buildings from 2026 and new residential buildings from 2029. The measure is expected to add 50 GW of rooftop capacity across the EU by 2030, directly supporting the REPowerEU target of 600 GW by 2030.

Netherlands Salderingsregeling Ends January 2027 — What Solar Owners Must Plan For Now

The Dutch government has confirmed the salderingsregeling (full net metering at retail price) will end on 1 January 2027. After that date, surplus solar electricity will be compensated at the lower 'terugleververgoeding' rate, typically €0.04–0.08/kWh versus the retail price of €0.32/kWh. Homeowners without battery storage will see their solar ROI drop significantly. Battery installations in the Netherlands surged 68% in 2025 in anticipation.

REPowerEU at Midpoint: Europe at 320 GW Solar, Tracking Toward 600 GW by 2030

SolarPower Europe's Q1 2026 market report shows the EU has crossed 320 GW of installed solar capacity. Record installation years in Spain, Germany, and Poland are driving progress, but the industry warns permitting bottlenecks remain the biggest barrier to hitting the 600 GW REPowerEU target on time.
