Step by step, the Netherlands is transitioning to sustainable energy
That makes it important to use energy more efficiently, for example at times when the supply is plentiful. This could mean running the washing machine when the sun is shining and solar panels are producing more energy. It will still be important to reduce energy consumption, because that will lower the amount that needs to be generated. Even so

6 FAQs about [Dutch experiment on solar panels]
How has solar energy changed in the Netherlands?
The use of solar energy (electricity and heat) in the Netherlands increased by 37 percent from 2018 to 2019. This is reflected in a large increase in solar parks, particularly on agricultural land. These solar parks are usually aimed at maximising energy yields.
How much solar power will the Netherlands have in 2050?
Some scenarios predict 200 gigawatt peak (GWp) of solar power in the Netherlands in 2050, 25 GWp of which will be on inland waters and 45 GWp at sea. The knowledge level is still insufficient. For example, on the effect of wind and waves on solar panels and the lifetime of floating solar energy systems.
How many solar panels does the Netherlands have?
The Netherlands today has an average of two solar panels per inhabitant - and installed capacity of more than 1 kilowatt (KW) per person - making it Europe's per-capita solar powerhouse, according to industry association Solar Power Europe. How is the Netherlands making space for solar power?
Is a Dutch and European solar manufacturing industry a good fit?
The overlap of a growing market, upcoming legislations and unique product-market combinations present a strong case for a Dutch and European solar manufacturing industry. The Netherlands has a number of companies that are well positioned in this landscape. We are excited to be working alongside our partners and the ecosystem in the upcoming year!
Does the Netherlands have a solar farm?
Nearly 20 per cent of the low-lying country's surface is water, and solar power developers including GroenLeven have taken advantage by installing farms on man-made lakes. The company has installed more than 500,000 solar panels on Dutch waters, leaving the Netherlands behind only China globally in such siting, it noted.
Why is the Netherlands important to the European solar industry?
Important because the EU is heavily committed to greater energy independence by increasing competitiveness in net-zero technology. By taking concrete action now, the Netherlands can be at the forefront of the European solar industry, which will provide a crucial economic and strategic advantage on the long term.
