2. Goat keeper de Jong
Goat farmer Teus de Jong also used SDE++ to get the most out of his investment in solar panels. The main reasons for Teus de Jong to invest in solar panels were the favorable return and the risk spread. "You invest in something that is separate from the agricultural sector," De Jong explains. "I think it's important to have multiple legs under the company."
3. Farmer Schutte
Arable farmer Jeroen Schutte also used SDE++ for his investment in solar panels. According to him, an entrepreneur cannot survive without subsidies: "You have to be helped with subsidies. A sustainable investment remains an economic story. It is not the case that our products become more expensive because we are so sustainable." The investment in an installation turned out to be financially very attractive for Schutte. Schutte: "From the 5 years after installation, the yield is 10% higher than expected."
4. Dairy Farmer Dead
Thanks to SDE++, dairy farmer Armando Dood can sell the surplus energy he generates to the grid. That pays off! "We had a good year the first year.

He had 933 solar panels installed on his roof. Would you also like a calculation of the benefits that solar panels can bring you? Calculate it with the calculator.
