Energy independent with a home battery

Make your home sustainable with a home battery:
SunCharged guides you from quote to installation.

Why a home battery?

The sun shines every day and has the power to provide sustainable energy to the entire world. But the challenge lies in intelligently storing and using that energy. During the day, you generate energy with your solar panels, while you primarily need it in the evening and at night. In the Netherlands, you can net-meter until January 1, 2027, which has always made solar panels a smart investment. Now that the net-metering scheme is being phased out, smart generation, consumption, and storage become even more important. A smart home battery from SunCharged helps you: save on your energy bill with dynamic rates, use your own solar energy whenever you want, and become less dependent on the grid!

What function does a home battery serve?

With a smart home battery from SunCharged, you store solar energy and use it when it suits you, such as during expensive peak hours or in winter when you generate less. This makes you less dependent on the electricity grid and reduces your energy costs. Our systems can even trade on the EPEX and imbalance markets, allowing you to benefit from price fluctuations and often recoup your investment within 5 to 8 years.

Connect everything through an Energy Management System

At SunCharged, we are brand-independent and advise on the best solution for your situation, whether you choose Enphase, Growatt, SolarEdge, Sigenergy, Pylontech, or another brand. We combine advanced technologies, such as the Bliq energy manager, to intelligently control your battery and optimize your energy consumption, ensuring you always have the best performance and maximum return!

The best location for your battery

A home battery can be placed in various locations in your home, depending on your situation. We often choose a dry, well-ventilated space such as the garage, basement, or utility room, close to the meter box for efficient connection. Outdoor placement is also possible, provided the battery is well protected against weather conditions. SunCharged advises you on the ideal location and ensures a safe, professional installation that meets all standards. An energy expert will visit your home for a technical inspection, where we'll determine the right location for the battery together and immediately discuss your future sustainability wishes. This way, you can be sure that everything perfectly matches your situation!

VAT refund on your home battery purchase

Make your investment in a home battery even more advantageous! In the Netherlands, you can claim back the 21% VAT on the purchase and installation of your home battery, resulting in significant savings. At SunCharged, we're happy to help make this process run smoothly. You must have a dynamic energy contract and your battery must be able to trade on the energy market. Note: you cannot be a participant in the small business scheme (KOR). Curious how this works for you? Request free advice and discover your benefits!

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a home battery varies widely and depends entirely on your situation and needs. There are compact plug-and-play batteries that you plug directly into the wall socket, as well as complete systems with large storage capacity, advanced inverters and even off-grid capabilities. The complexity of the installation also plays a role in the total price.

At SunCharged, we look at your energy consumption, house type and future plans with you. Based on that, we'll create a custom quote to ensure you get what's right for you. A home battery connected in the meter box starts at about 4000 euros, including installation.

With a dynamic energy contract and a home battery, you always benefit from the lowest energy rate of the day. Exactly how much you save depends on several factors such as your energy consumption, solar production, the capacity of your battery and current power prices. Especially with large price differences in the energy market, a smart battery can make all the difference. By charging when power is cheap and discharging when rates are high, you maximize your solar power as well as market prices. At SunCharged, we are happy to help you understand your personal savings potential.

Although the net metering scheme remains in effect until 2027, a home battery can already be profitable if you have a dynamic energy contract or want to maximize self-consumption.
Additionally, you'll be prepared for the phasing out of the net metering scheme and benefit from price stability.
We're happy to advise you on the best timing for your specific situation.

A home battery stores excess solar power that you don't use immediately.
When your panels produce less or no electricity (for example, in the evening or during cloudy weather), you first use the stored energy from your battery before drawing power from the grid.
This increases your self-consumption of solar energy to up to 70-80% and reduces your dependence on the electricity grid.

At SunCharged, we select only high-quality home batteries from reputable manufacturers that are designed for long life. Manufacturers often provide a warranty based on charge and discharge cycles - around 6,000 cycles is common today, which equates to 15 years or more with normal use.

The exact lifespan depends on the battery type, usage pattern and number of cycles. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries typically offer the longest life. Even after the warranty period expires, most batteries will still function, although the storage capacity does decrease over time.

Full off-grid living is legally and practically difficult in the Netherlands. A grid connection is required by law for homes. Nevertheless, there are technically possible solutions for people who want maximum independence. Think of systems with large battery capacity, smart energy storage and possibly an emergency generator as backup for periods with little sun, such as in winter.

For most households it makes more sense to stay connected to the grid as a safety net. However, with a properly sized system, you can significantly increase your self-sufficiency to about 70-80% on an annual basis.

At SunCharged, we design systems that maximize your independence, while maintaining grid security.
