What Saman Groep does

Saman Groep is a privately held Dutch sustainable installation company headquartered in Zierikzee, Netherlands, with operations tracing back over 100 years in technical installations and more than 20 years specifically in renewable energy. The company distributes, installs, and services a portfolio of energy and comfort products for both residential and commercial customers across the Southwest Netherlands region, including solar panels, heat pumps (notably its proprietary Weheat brand), home and commercial battery storage (Dyness), EV charging stations (Alfen, Zaptec), air conditioning (Daikin), central heating boilers (Intergas), solar water heaters, and energy management systems. Its commercial arm extends to large-scale solar park development through subsidiary Saman Groep Projecten B.V., while inspection services cover SCIOS Scope 8, 10, and 12 and power quality measurements.

The underlying technology stack combines third-party OEM hardware (Daikin, Dyness, Alfen, Zaptec, Intergas) with two proprietary layers: the Weheat heat pump sub-brand and the Saman Oliva 24/7 monitoring platform that enables remote fault detection and performance tracking across solar, battery, and charging installations. The company operates a direct-to-customer field sales model through five regional offices (Breda, Barendrecht, Veldhoven, Valkenburg, Zierikzee) plus an inspiration center in Zierikzee, supported by certified technicians (InstallQ, CO-certified, STEK, F-gassen) and an in-house Saman Academie training program.

Saman Groep generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time product sales with installation (e.g., €2,105 for an Alfen Single Pro EV charger, €2,195 for a Zaptec Pro, €33,400+ for a Dyness DH100F battery), recurring service and maintenance contracts with up to 15-year warranty terms on business heat pumps, and rental/hire services for solar panels, heat pumps, boilers, and air conditioning. Customer segments are split horizontally into residential (particulier) and business (zakelijk), with the business segment further tiered into small commercial (Kleinzakelijk/MKB) and large commercial (Grootzakelijk) groups. The company supports customers through advisory and subsidy navigation services spanning ISDE, EIA, SDE++, MIA, VAMIL, and KIA programs, creating an integrated one-stop-shop model for the Dutch energy transition.
