At Verdasol we offer a varied range of solar energy systems, including our advanced glass-glass solar panels. Each panel in our range meets strict quality standards, as required in the Netherlands, to ensure the highest reliability and efficiency.

Our solar panels always come with an essential quality mark, which ensures the absence of production errors over the years of use. This label also confirms the promised capability of each panel when purchasing.

Unique Features of Verdasol Glass Glass Solar Panels

• Reduced Sensitivity for Microfractures: Our glass-glass panels are designed to be less prone to micro-fractures, which often occur with traditional glass-film solar panels. This is due to the double glass layer, which makes the panels up to 15% stronger.
• Robust Design: Unlike the usual plastic back, our glass-glass panels have a sturdy glass back, which increases overall durability.
• Duration and Reliability: Due to their robust design, our glass-glass solar panels have a longer lifespan, making them a sensible long-term investment.

How Microfractures Can Be

• Production and Transport Process: Microfractures can occur during production and transport. Our glass-glass solar panels are designed to be more resistant to these risks.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Glass glass Solar panels

• Sustainability vs. Costs: Although glass-glass solar panels are more durable and have a longer lifetime, they are often more expensive than the glass-film variant. This is a trade-off for consumers.
• Bifacial Technology: This innovative technology allows the panels to absorb sunlight from both sides, increasing efficiency.
• Quality variation: Not all glass-glass panels are superior; some glass-film panels are also excellent. We consistently choose the best quality: single Tier 1 panels

Robustness and Security

• Weather resistance: Our glass-glass solar panels are particularly resistant to extreme weather conditions, extending their lifespan.
• Fire safety: Compared to glass-foil panels, our glass-glass solar panels offer higher fire safety due to the non-combustible glass rear.

Want to know more about our glass-glass panels?

In the Netherlands, you are part of a leading role in Europe when it comes to solar energy. It is remarkable that more than a quarter of households have already installed solar panels, which marks an impressive step towards a more sustainable future. However, in the area of home batteries there is still a considerable catch-up to be made. While our neighbours in Belgium and Germany are already more advanced, the Netherlands is somewhat lagging behind. Home batteries are a crucial element in the transition to a fully sustainable energy supply. Have you personally considered integrating this innovation into your home? Read below 5 reasons why a Verdasol home battery is already a sensible choice:

1. Take charge for energy supply

Switch to a position where you control your energy use. By combining a dynamic energy contract, your own home battery, and solar panels, you transform your household into a self-sufficient energy center. The energy you generate with the solar panels during the day is stored in the home battery. This energy can then be used for daily activities such as cooking, watching or washing television.

A dynamic energy contract allows you to pay for energy based on variable hourly prices. This means you don't pay at times when you don't consume energy. This will increase your independence and take control of your energy consumption into your own hands.

2. Maximize your efficiency through energy trading

Visualize a scenario where you automatically benefit from the most cost-effective energy options, similar to someone who constantly detects the best supermarket deals for you. This will become reality with an advanced home battery. This battery is programmed to charge itself at times when energy is most economical, either through your own solar panels or from the power grid.

The real magic unfolds at peak moments of energy prices, such as early morning or evening, when your home battery actively sells the stored energy at higher rates. With a home battery from Verdasol, you are not only assured of smart energy storage, but also of a strategy to minimise your energy costs and even generate profits. With this technology, you are not only an energy user, but also a smart energy trader.

3. The payback time of a home battery shortens with each passing year

As the production of wind and solar energy increases, there is an increasing difference between demand and supply of energy. It is remarkable that during sunny periods, when energy production peaks, the demand for energy is the lowest. This phenomenon has led to times when energy tariffs even became negative. In 2023 a record was reached with a rate of -€0.61, including taxes. In other words, the use of energy was paid for! This trend is expected to increase, with a forecast that the number of hours with negative energy prices will triple in 2026 compared to 2023.

You can make the most of this situation by investing in a home battery. This allows you to store energy when it is cheap or even negative priced, and use or sell when prices are high. This makes the investment in a home battery not only sustainable but also financially more attractive, thus significantly reducing payback time.

4. Cooking with the solar energy you generate yourself

It's fascinating to think that you can cook with solar energy that you've generated yourself. Imagine this as having a personal energy garden. Just as a homegrown tomato is more tasteful than a supermarket, the use of self-generated solar energy is also more satisfying.

By investing in a home battery you promote the use of solar energy. You store generated energy during the day, so you do not have to use conventional, non-renewable energy sources in the evening. So you contribute to a greener world, while enjoying the fruits of your own energy garden.

5. Optimum Prepared for the Abolition of the Settlement Scheme

Example calculation:

From 2025 the netting system will be phased out. By using a home battery you can store your own generated solar energy instead of losing it. It is advisable to anticipate this already, so that you are optimally prepared when these changes take place.

Know what opportunities there are for your situation?

The sun is not only a beautiful celestial body but also a huge energy source that remains largely unused. The energy that the Sun radiates on our planet every day exceeds the current global energy consumption by a factor of 9,000. Therefore, here are six well-founded arguments to switch to solar energy:

1. Renewable Energy potential: The sun rises daily, offering a constant and inexhaustible supply of energy. We are only at the beginning of fully exploiting this natural treasure.
2. Direct cost savings: With solar panels on your roof you immediately lower your energy bill. This initial investment often recoupes quickly due to significant annual savings.
3. Appreciation of your House: Houses equipped with solar panels and energy storage systems are more popular in the real estate market. A home battery allows you to store excess solar energy for use in the night or at peak moments.
4. Step towards Sustainability: By choosing solar energy, we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and make a big step towards a more sustainable future.
5. Financial Benefits: Besides the ecological benefits, solar panels are also financially attractive. Prices continue to fall, while the return on investment increases. And remember: in some cases you don't pay VAT!
6. Energy independence: Solar installations increase your independence from the power grid, which is particularly useful during power failures or other unforeseen circumstances.

With these arguments in mind, it becomes clear that solar energy is not only a smart, but also a necessary choice for our future.
