A new SDE++ subsidy round will open in September. The opportunity for entrepreneurs to invest in sustainable energy. This is financially interesting because through SDE++ an entrepreneur can earn money in 3 ways.
Arable farmer Slӧetjes in Halle has a solar panel installation with 694 solar panels on its roof. The financial benefits of investing in solar panels were the main motivation for Slӧetjes. "It has a nice financial return and it is the best way to take social responsibility."
earn money 3x
Thanks to SDE++ Slӧetjes saves on its own electricity bill (1), receives a subsidy per kWh of solar energy generated (2) and can sell the generated electricity that is not used to the energy supplier (3). "Our approach has really been to set up the installation in such a way that we can supply the grid as much as possible," says the arable farmer.
Supplier of green electricity
Slӧetjes's company consumes an average of 170.000 kWh of energy per year and consumption is seasonal. The harvesting of potatoes starts in September. Then 2,5 thousand tons of French fries potatoes are stored for 3 weeks until they are transported. In winter, the halls of the arable farm are full of seed potatoes and from mid-April the barns are empty again. That while the most energy is generated in the summer. Slӧetjes sells this generated electricity to the grid: "Now we are a so-called supplier of green electricity."
Request SDE++
Slӧetjes allowed the SDE++ decision to be applied for Energy Shift† This company does that free of charge en without obligation and has years of experience in applying for these subsidies. She works closely with network operators and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). After Slӧetjes was awarded the SDE++ subsidy, he requested quotes from various installers. Ultimately, he chose to have the installation taken care of by Energy Shift. Look at here the video in which he tells more about his experiences with this company.
