Market monitoring on plug-in systems in Belgium
Pluginfo regularly monitors the deployment of plug-in solar panels and battery systems across Belgium's three Regions.
Our analyses are partly based on the official registration data provided by regional distribution system operators (DSOs). While these figures provide insights into market developments, they represent only part of the equipment actually in operation. A significant share of installed systems is currently not reflected in the official statistics.
On a regular basis, Pluginfo publishes market updates presenting both the official registration figures and, where relevant, independent estimates of the number of plug-in solar and storage systems operating in Belgium. These analyses contribute to a better understanding of the market and its evolution.

Why are the actual volumes of units in operation so difficult to estimate?
Unlike traditional residential solar panels and batteries, plug-in systems are very small and feed little, if any, electricity into the grid. Their most efficient set-up is to directly cover part of a household’s electricity consumption. This makes them highly cost-effective, but also largely invisible to network operators, even when they are reasonably equipped with digital meters. Added to this are the fact that registration obligations to the various network operators are still little known to the wide public, and sales channels can be difficult to trace.
