Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, powering your home day-to-day. Any extra goes back to the grid (or your battery) — it’s like having your own mini power plant.
Why it helps you
Covers 30–80% of your electricity needs through your own production. In Belgium, households typically self-consume between 30% and 40%—if you optimize your usage, that can climb to 70%.
Increases savings well beyond grid-only use. In Flanders, a properly sized system often pays for itself in around 5 years (with 70% self-consumption); in Brussels with green certificates, that can drop to 3 years.
Maintains performance long term: After 25 years, panels still produce over 80% of their original output.
Reduces your carbon footprint significantly, with solar electricity producing 70–90% less CO₂ than grid energy

An EV charger at home connects to your electrical system and charges your car overnight, safely and automatically.
Why it helps you
Up to ~35% cheaper than public charging. Home charging averages around €0.32–€0.34/kWh, while public stations (fast DC) go around €0.67/kWh.
More cost-efficient overnight: Charging at home during off-peak hours can be 30% cheaper than home day-rate tariffs.
Most convenient choice: About 80% of EV charging is done at home because it's easy and fits daily routines.
Avoids public price volatility and lines—public charging remains consistently higher despite wholesale price drops.

What it does:
Smart controls monitor and optimize the energy flows in your home. They connect your solar panels, EV charger, heat pump, and battery, making sure every device uses electricity in the smartest and most cost-effective way.Why it helps you
Maximize your solar power use: Without smart control, part of your solar power is lost to the grid. With automation, you can reach up to 90% self-consumption by sending solar directly to your EV, boiler, or battery.
Save up to 25% extra on your bill by shifting appliances like washing machines, dryers, or heat pumps to low-tariff hours automatically.
Avoid peak tariffs: Belgium’s new capacity tariff means high peaks cost money. Smart controls flatten your usage curve, potentially reducing grid fees by 10–20% annually.
Smarter comfort: EVs always charged before morning, hot water available when you need it, appliances running at the cheapest time — all without you lifting a finger.
Future-proof: As energy prices and regulations change, smart controls adapt. Your home is ready for dynamic tariffs and grid-balancing incentives.
Smart controls

What it does:
A home battery stores the solar energy you produce during the day (or cheaper grid energy at night) and makes it available when you actually need it — in the evening, during peak hours, or even during grid outages.Why it helps you
Boosts your self-consumption: Without a battery, you typically use only 30–40% of your solar energy directly. With a battery, that number climbs to 60–80%.
Cuts your electricity bill by up to 35% by shifting consumption from expensive peak hours to cheap solar or off-peak tariffs.
Protects you from rising grid fees: Belgium is phasing in capacity-based tariffs. By using stored energy instead of pulling from the grid during peaks, you can lower your peak consumption — reducing network charges by 10–20%.
Keeps the lights on: Modern batteries can provide backup power for several hours during grid outages, keeping essentials like heating, internet, and fridges running.
Long-term reliability: Most batteries retain over 70% of their original capacity after 10 years, making them a durable investment.

What it does:
A heat pump boiler uses ambient air to heat your water up to 4x more efficiently than a traditional electric boiler. Instead of generating heat directly, it captures free energy from the air and transfers it into your hot water system.Why it helps you
Up to 70% less energy use: Compared to a classic electric boiler, a heat pump boiler reduces electricity demand by 60–70%.
Perfect match with solar panels: Store your excess solar energy as hot water, increasing your self-consumption by 10–15%.
Lower bills immediately: A family of 4 can save €250–€500 per year on hot water costs just by switching to a heat pump boiler.
Avoids peak tariffs: When combined with smart controls, your boiler can heat during off-peak hours or when solar is available, cutting expensive grid usage.
Eco-friendly: Reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 50% compared to a gas or electric boiler, helping households meet Belgium’s stricter energy standards.
Future-proof investment: With rising energy prices and upcoming bans on fossil-fuel heating, a heat pump boiler ensures compliance and long-term savings.
