As a private individual, you can apply for a subsidy for various measures for your owner-occupied home. The Association of Owners (VvE) can also apply for a subsidy. You can also borrow money.

VAT refund for purchasing solar panels
Since mid-2013, it has been possible to buy solar panels without paying VAT. To do this, you must register as a small business with the Tax and Customs Administration. EMEC can assist you with this process, helping you save up to 21% on the purchase costs.
