The Dutch solar market is changing. In 2024, the total market declined by 30%, with residential installations dropping significantly—by more than 50%. At the same time, the commercial market remains relatively stable, and home batteries are gaining popularity. This shift presents new challenges, especially for small and medium-sized solar companies. How do you ensure your organization remains agile enough to keep up with these developments?

A market that demands adaptation

For small solar companies, the current market situation presents a complex challenge. You need to shift your focus from relatively simple residential projects to more complex commercial installations. Simultaneously, the market demands new products such as home batteries, whose sales tripled in 2024. Each project brings its own challenges: technical drawings, permits, contracts. With limited resources and manpower, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage this efficiently.

Why separate systems slow your growth

As a small business, it’s tempting to choose a separate solution for each challenge. A free project management tool here, an Excel sheet for finances there. But right now, you need oversight. Otherwise, how would you know which projects are the most profitable? Or which new services you should develop?

The benefits of everything under one roof

An integrated approach offers a solution especially for smaller organizations:

• Immediate insight into project status and costs without additional administration
• Flexibility to quickly add new products and services
• Accurate financial control without additional personnel
• More time for what really matters: your customers and growth

Start adapting today

Even as a small solar company, you can respond to the changing market. Begin by mapping your current working methods. Which systems are you using now? Where do you lose time? Where do you lack insight? With that knowledge, you can improve strategically and lay a solid foundation for the future.
