In 2023, an average of 0.71 megawatts of solar panels per square kilometre was installed in the Netherlands. Total installed capacity in 4 out of 10 municipalities in the Netherlands was more than one megawatt (one million watts). Zwijndrecht was the municipality with the most power per square kilometre, at over 5 megawatts.
Despite concerns about the cost, the Dutch continued to add more solar panels to their homes in 2023, according to new figures from national statistics agency CBS. Production capacity rose 22% in 2023 when compared with 2022 and is almost 40 times higher than in 2013, the CBS said.
There are three main types of solar panels you can get in the Netherlands: monocrystalline panels, polycrystalline panels, and thin film panels. Monocrystalline panels are made using silicon and have an aluminium frame. These panels are more efficient in producing electricity from sunlight because of the structure of the cells.
Because solar panels have become an extremely popular investment, the Dutch government is losing money by compensating everyone who sells their energy into the grid. Originally, the Netherlands was going to shift to the terugleververgoeding policy in 2031, after salderingsregeling ended.
