What about VAT for Dutch companies?
We invoice with Belgian VAT. Dutch entrepreneurs can offset VAT in their own tax return via the intra-community reverse charge mechanism. For private individuals, the Belgian rate of 21% applies. Our invoices comply with the tax authorities' requirements.
Do you work with Dutch maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer multi-year contracts (2-5 years) under Dutch or Belgian law, depending on what the customer wants. Price guarantee, priority in planning and 10-15% quantity discount included as standard.
Can you report for SDE++ installations?
Yes. Our reports contain the measurement data you need for SDE++ justification: availability rates, maintenance moments, before/after efficiency indication. We also provide thermographic scans for annual reporting.
How soon can you visit in the Netherlands?
Usually 1 to 3 weeks after offer agreement. For the southern Netherlands (Brabant, Limburg, Zeeland) often within a week. For the Northern Netherlands (Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe), we usually plan in clusters of 2-3 assignments on the same day to work efficiently.
How often should I clean in the Dutch climate?
Residential in urban zone: every 1-2 years. Commercial along highways or in industrial zone: annually. Agricultural or within 10 km of the coast: recommended semi-annually. Solar parks: 2 to 4 times a year. You will receive advice with each cleaning based on what we find on site.
Do you work with Dutch installers?
Yes, we work with several Dutch installers who offer cleaning as an aftercare package. Interested in white label collaboration? Call us for the possibilities.
What if it rains on the scheduled day?
We reschedule free of charge. Light drizzle is no problem - our robots and operators will continue working. In case of heavy rain, storm or wind >40 km/h, we reschedule to the next convenient day.
Do you also clean floating solar parks?
Yes. We have experience with floating solar on sand extraction sites and buffer basins in Brabant and South Holland, among others. We use specific equipment for this. Request a project quote for floating installations.
What about Friesland and Groningen - is that profitable for you guys?
Absolutely. We schedule Northern Netherlands in clusters to carry out multiple jobs on the same day. For companies with multiple sites in the north, we offer advantageous multi-site rates.
