Bebat environmental contribution in Belgium
Lunergy complies with Belgian Bebat regulations
At Lunergy, we believe smart energy storage should go hand in hand with clear information, correct registration and responsible recycling management. That is why we explain below what the Bebat environmental contribution is, how it is calculated and why the modular design of the Lunergy Hub 2400 AC is advantageous.
Our promise
Transparent, compliant and without hidden fees
For orders to Belgian customers, a Bebat environmental contribution is charged where applicable. This contribution does not provide Lunergy with any extra margin. It is part of the statutory producer responsibility for batteries and is used to enable the collection, processing, recycling and reuse of waste batteries.
We display this contribution separately and clearly, so that you can fairly compare prices and know exactly which part relates to the Belgian recycling obligation.
What is Bebat?
A prepaid environmental service for batteries
Bebat organises the collection and recycling of batteries in Belgium. For lithium Energy Storage Systems, including plug-in home batteries, the environmental contribution is calculated per kilogram. This contribution helps ensure that batteries are professionally collected and processed at the end of their lifespan.
According to Bebat, the weight is determined based on the battery module with a serial number, including the enclosure if present. An inverter or BMS is only included if it is integrated into the same enclosure.
Calculation
How the Bebat contribution for Lunergy is calculated
For lithium ESS in an installation up to and including 16 MWh, the current Bebat rate is €2.890 per kilogram, excluding VAT. For consumers, we also show the amount including 21% VAT below.

€2.89/kg × battery weight × 1.21
Only the battery pack counts
€2.89 × 44.4 × 1.21
| System | Battery weight for Bebat | Calculation incl. VAT | Bebat contribution incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.22 kWh: Hub 2400 AC + 1 × BP5200 | 44.4 kg | €2.89 × 44.4 × 1.21 | €155.26 |
| 10.44 kWh: Hub 2400 AC + 2 × BP5200 | 88.8 kg | €2.89 × 88.8 × 1.21 | €310.52 |
| 15.66 kWh: Hub 2400 AC + 3 × BP5200 | 133.2 kg | €2.89 × 133.2 × 1.21 | €465.79 |
Why Lunergy is advantageous
The inverter and battery are separate
The Lunergy Hub 2400 AC has a modular design: the Hub is the inverter and control unit, while the BP5200 is the battery pack. Therefore, the Bebat contribution only needs to be calculated on the battery pack. The weight of the inverter is not included in the Bebat costs.
In many other systems, the battery pack and inverter are in a single combined enclosure. If the inverter is integrated into the same enclosure, that total weight counts for Bebat. This can result in a higher contribution even though you do not get more battery capacity.

Inverter is separate, so it is not included in the Bebat weight.

Battery and inverter are together; the total enclosure weight may count.
Control and registration
How can you check Lunergy's Bebat registration?
Lunergy is registered with Bebat. You can check this via the Bebat participants list by searching for Lunergy or our VAT number NL869253505B01.
To ensure full compliance and traceability, we register the corresponding serial number (SN) in the Bebat system for every battery that is sold via Lunergy and is therefore correctly recorded and linked to your specific product.
Reporting deadline: we submit the data to Bebat approximately 45 to 60 days after the completion of your order. After that, it usually takes another 2 to 5 business days before you can find the corresponding serial number (SN) in the Bebat database.
Submission schedule: due to the 30-day return and refund period, we only submit the full order details after this period has expired. This means that all orders from June, for example are submitted in early August. This ensures that the reported data is correct and complete.
If you cannot find a serial number after some time or have questions about the report? Then contact Lunergy and provide your order number, order date and serial number.
Recycling
What happens at the end of life?
When a battery reaches the end of its lifespan after many years, the Bebat structure helps to correctly organise collection and recycling. Through Bebat, you can find a collection point or suitable collection route so that valuable raw materials can be reused and batteries do not end up in residual waste incorrectly.
You can search for a collection point via the Bebat collection point map.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Lunergy profit from the Bebat contribution?
No. The contribution is calculated according to the Bebat rules. Lunergy does not charge any extra fee on this contribution.
Why do I not see a Bebat cost from some providers?
This can have several causes. For Belgian customers, it is important that a home battery is correctly treated within the Belgian producer responsibility. A seemingly lower price is not always fully comparable when recycling or compliance costs are missing.
Why is the inverter not included for Lunergy?
Because the Lunergy Hub 2400 AC and the BP5200 battery pack are separate components. Bebat calculates for ESS based on the battery module with a serial number and enclosure. The inverter only needs to be included when it is integrated into the same enclosure.
Does the Bebat contribution affect my warranty?
No. The contribution is separate from the product warranty. It relates to the statutory registration, collection and recycling of batteries in Belgium.
