Solar panel project Park City
Installing solar panels is an easy solution for people who want to generate renewable energy for their homes. More than 1,500 Heerlen households have had solar panels installed with a loan from the municipality. Participation is no longer possible.
No impact on participants
Participants in the solar panel project will not notice anything about the end-of-2022 participation stop. The service and maintenance agreements will simply remain valid for the remainder of the contract term of all project participants.
Volta Limburg remains our service provider and will take care of collecting loan repayments. For repayment questions, please email facturering_incasso@voltalimburg.nl or call 088-027888.
Volta Solar provides service and maintenance. Report malfunctions by emailing service@voltasolar.nl or tel. 088-0237480. Your contract states that your panels will be cleaned every five years. You must request this yourself: service@voltasolar.nl.
For questions or complaints about Volta's services, please contact zonnepanelenproject@parkstad-limburg.nl.
I am going to sell my house, now what?
When selling your home, there are two options:
- The contract (and/or loan) will be taken over one-to-one by the new owner of the home. To convert the contract to a new owner, you must complete this form.
- You repay the loan in one lump sum. You then own the solar panel installation. You may take the installation with you to the new home, if necessary.
Interim redemption
You may make a penalty-free interim repayment. The repayment must be at least €1,000. Do you want to make use of this possibility? Then you can deposit this amount to: NL93 RABO 0125 5370 42 in the name of Volta Limburg. Include your name, address, zip code and city. Volta will deduct your repayment amount from your loan and they will automatically adjust the monthly repayment amount.
Installing solar panels yourself?
Although the municipal solar panel project has stopped, it is still attractive to purchase solar panels from a commercial provider. For favorable financing, you can use the National Heat Fund. You can request several quotes and choose the installation company or initiative that suits you best. Most providers also give you the option of using the heat fund.
Monuments and protected cityscapes
Installing solar panels is usually permit-free. On monuments and in protected city and village sights, however, rules do apply. You must then apply for an environmental permit. We submit this to the Spatial Quality Commission. Your request can be refused if the committee finds that installing solar panels on your home is not desirable.
