Solar tariffs and regulations in the Netherlands
The salderingsregeling ends in one step on 1 January 2027. Every Dutch quote written now runs across that cliff, so the model has to price both regimes rather than one.
Every market, every tariff, built in
Net metering, net billing, credit carry-over, feed-in tariffs and hourly or monthly netting all live in the tariff configurator, alongside time-of-use, tiered and demand charge structures. Tune currency, seasons, export rates and VAT, or build a brand-new tariff structure when a market changes the rules. Pre-built for the US, UK, Germany, Türkiye, South Africa, Italy, Spain, France, Poland and the Netherlands.

Salderingsregeling ends on 1 January 2027
Annual one-for-one netting, energy tax included, applies until 31 December 2026 and then stops in a single step rather than tapering. A system sold in 2026 spends most of its life under the regime that follows, not the one being demonstrated.
What replaces it
From 2027 all imports are billed in full and exports earn a terugleververgoeding of at least 50 percent of the bare supply price until 2030. Suppliers may still charge terugleverkosten, the feed-in costs, so the net value of an exported kWh can come close to zero.
Energy tax tiers and the household rebate
Energy tax falls in bands as annual consumption rises, and households receive a fixed annual rebate. Under saldering the tax is calculated on net annual consumption, which is a large part of why the scheme was worth so much and why its end changes the numbers so sharply.
Fixed costs a rooftop cannot touch
A Dutch bill carries an annual supply fee and a grid operator fee that are charged regardless of consumption. Neither is reduced by generation, so they belong in the model as a floor under the customer's yearly cost.
01How should I quote a system installed in 2026?+
Across both regimes. SolarVis ships Dutch tariffs in saldering and Geen Saldering variants, so you can show the customer the saldering years and the post-2027 years separately instead of averaging a number that will be wrong in both halves.
02Does the scheme taper off gradually?+
No. It ends in one step on 1 January 2027. Earlier proposals to phase it down were not what was adopted, so a model that assumes a gradual reduction will overstate the value of every year from 2027 onwards.
03What are terugleverkosten?+
Feed-in costs that a supplier may charge for handling exported energy. They are commercial terms rather than a regulated rate, and they can offset a large part of the feed-in payment, which is why the customer's actual contract matters more than the statutory minimum.
04Which Dutch tariffs are preloaded?+
Eight, covering residential and commercial supplies on single-rate and dual-rate structures, each in a saldering and a Geen Saldering variant. Supply fees, grid operator fees, energy tax tiers and the household rebate are modelled as separate lines.
