Solar panels on national monuments: Tips and advice

Questioner

We are in possession of a national monument. How and where can and may I place solar panels and solar boilers? Is this allowed in the garden or adjacent pasture? And do I need to apply for permits for such racks?

To install solar panels, you need an environmental permit, which you can apply for at your municipality. You can download a brochure from the national service for cultural heritage via the link below. This brochure explains more about solar energy measures on a monumental building. https://cultureelerfgoed.nl/publicaties/zonne-energie-en-uw-monument-wegwijzer-voor-eigenen-en-huurders
