Batteries are becoming an interesting investment more than ever
The reduction of the Flemish premium for home batteries will be compensated for in the coming years. Perhaps not so much by decreasing prices of home batteries, but by additional possibilities to save or even earn money thanks to a smart home battery. From mid-2022 onwards you will be able to save money by cleverly capitalising on the capacity tariff or by making full use of dynamic energy prices. For this you need to make use of a smart control. For example, via Jabba's smart platform.
Introduction of environmental contribution
From 1 January 2022, an environmental contribution will be introduced to guarantee that at the end of the life cycle, the home batteries will be dismantled with care for the environment and maximally reused. As an importer, AlphaESS BE has already paid the necessary administrative contributions to Bebat, and the necessary provisions have been set aside for the end of the life cycle. These commitments will be continued under the new regulation. Our partners and end users should not lose any sleep over this. The free take-back and recycling of AlphaESS home batteries at the end of their service life is guaranteed.
