Do you wish to generate energy in a sustainable manner? Then solar panels are indispensable. And indeed, even with a digital meter, you still benefit from your own production. Especially when combined with our smart solutions.
Solar panels remain profitable
Solar panels have not become less interesting due to the digital meter. You simply need to manage them more intelligently. Where previously the focus was primarily on how much you produce, today it is about how much of that energy you consume yourself.
Do you opt for the right solar panels and a well-considered placement? Then they remain a profitable investment today. iLumen aligns your installation with how your energy is currently generated, consumed, and settled. This way, you truly get the most out of every panel on your roof.
Independent research agency for solar panels
Solar panels vary significantly in quality. That is why we test them at iLumen. In our own laboratory, using infrared technology, electroluminescence, and even a unique sunlight tester. We are the only independent research agency in Belgium that tests solar panels for yield loss and PID (Potential Induced Degradation). Whether it concerns faulty installations, new brands, or doubts about performance: our engineers identify what is going wrong and what actually works.

A smart choice for both the short and long term
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that you can use immediately in your home. The more of that energy you consume yourself, the greater the return on your installation. Therefore, it is not only the number of panels that is important, but also the quality, the placement, and how they are tailored to your situation.
At iLumen, we consciously choose the very best solar panels with a long lifespan. We look at your roof and your consumption. In this way, we assemble an installation that yields immediate returns and continues to do so in the long term.
Calculate payback period?
For the calculation of the scenarios below, we use the following installation values: the PV system produces 4,000 kWh/year, the consumption is also 4,000 kWh/year, and a 4 kVA inverter is active. Additionally, we use a price of 330 euros / MWh for consumption and 40 euros / MWh for injection (VREG rates Q1 2024).
Solar panels with
reversing meter
€840
Annual savings
- Energy production savings: 4 MWh/year x €330/MWh = €1,320/year
- Prosumer tariff: 4 kVA x €90/year = €360/year
- Other taxes: ≈ €120/year
- Net energy savings: €1,320/year – €360/year – €120/year = €840/year
Solar panels with
digital meter
€484.40
Annual savings
- Self-consumption level 28% (i.e., 72% injection). Source: VREG
- Injection: 2.88 MWh/year x €40/MWh = €115.2/year
- Self-consumption: 1.12 MWh/year x €330/MWh = €369.6/year
- Net energy savings = €484.8/year (loss of €355.2/year for 20 years)
Solar panels with a digital meter
and iLumen technology
€980.10
Annual savings
- Injection: 0.9 MWh/year x €40/MWh = €36/year
- Self-consumption: 1.12 MWh/year x €330/MWh = €369.9/year
- Battery storage: 1.98 MWh/year x €290/MWh = €574.2/year
- Net energy savings = €980.1/year
