Solar Panels: Still a Profitable Investment in Belgium in 2025?

It’s a question many people ask themselves before embarking on a solar panel installation. The initial investment can seem high, and without grants or subsidies, some may hesitate. However, the answer is yes: installing solar panels remains a profitable choice, even in 2025!

Why Install Solar Panels in Belgium?

Savings on Energy Bills

Solar panels allow you to generate your own electricity, significantly reducing your dependence on energy providers. By consuming your own energy, you lower your bills, enabling you to quickly recoup your investment.
Increased Property Value
Buildings equipped with eco-friendly energy solutions, such as solar panels, are increasingly valuable. Green homes are more attractive on the property market, making this investment a wise choice for the future.
Additional Income
By selling the surplus electricity generated by your solar panels, you can generate additional income, further offsetting the cost of installation. While compensation systems have evolved, you can still benefit from remuneration for the energy injected into the grid.

What are the main benefits of installing a heat pump and solar panels?

Installing a heat pump and solar panels provides a number of benefits.

- Lower energy bills: heat pumps capture energy from the air, water and ground to heat or cool your home thus requiring  much less energy than traditional systems. When coupled with solar panels, which generate electricity from the sun, this can considerably reduce your energy bills.
- Eco-friendly: these systems use renewable energy and reduce CO2 emissions thus helping to combat climate change.
- Energy self-sufficiency: by generating your own electricity and using a heat pump, you are less dependent on energy suppliers and are not subject to price fluctuations.
- Increases the value of your property: homes equipped with eco-friendly heating and electricity-generation systems often have a higher value.

Can these systems work together to maximise energy efficiency?

Yes, heat pumps and solar panels work together very efficiently. Solar panels generate electricity that can be used to power the heat pump. This allows the generated energy to be utilised directly for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water, thereby maximising the energy efficiency of your system. Not only does this reduce costs, it also reduces your home's carbon footprint.

What are the initial costs of installing a heat pump and solar panels?

Initial costs vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size of your home, the type of heat pump you require, the number of solar panels needed, and the specific characteristics of your installation. On average:

- Heat pump: the cost of a heat pump is between €20,000 and €35,000 (including installation).

- Solar panels: the cost of a standard installation is between €10,000 and €35,000 for an output of 3 kW to 20 kW.

These costs can be reduced thanks to various financial aids, subsidies and tax incentives, depending on where you live.
