Data compiled: February 2026

Investment Subsidy (ISDE)

Net Metering (Saldering)

Dutch homes benefit from net metering where excess solar production offsets grid consumption at retail rates. The net metering scheme is being phased down gradually through 2031, being replaced with feed-in tariffs. Current systems still benefit from favorable netting against consumption for several more years.
