In Nederland drijven steeds meer zonnepanelen op het water. Kennis omtrent het effect op de waterkwaliteit van deze zonneparken is echter beperkt. Praktijkmetingen onder de platforms zijn vaak lastig uit te voeren. Er zijn onderwaterdrones ingezet met sensoren en camera’s. Deze praktijkmetingen zijn …

Verticale zonnepanelen verdienen andere subsidievoorwaarden binnen de Stimuleringsregeling Duurzame Energie (SDE+) omdat de stroomproductie gelijkmatiger over het jaar verdeeld is. Dit ontlast het elektriciteitsnet.

Een verticaal opgesteld zonnepaneel, gericht op het zuiden, produceert per jaar in Nederland ongeveer 70% van de elektriciteit die een scheef (hoek 35 graden) opgesteld paneel produceert. De productie van het verticaal opgestelde paneel is evenwel gelijkmatiger over het jaar verdeeld, past daardoor beter …

A few years ago the Dutch government set goals for sustainability. These goals include switching to fully sustainable energy production by 2050. Using only conventional sustainable energy production methods like solar panels and wind turbines will not result in achieving the set goals, so alternative …

Excess of renewable electricity from wind turbines or solar panels is used for electrolysis of water. To store this renewable energy as methane, the hydrogen is fed to an anaerobic digester to stimulate biological methanation by hydrogenotrophic methanogens. This workpackage focusses on the best ways …

In order to improve the social acceptance of photovoltaic modules, the choice in panel color and size should be enlarged. Although various approaches have been reported to change the appearance of PV modules, it often adds complexity to the manufacturing process. Here an approach is presented in which …

Rooftop Energy (RTE) is a company that operates in the field of solar photovoltaic (PV), commonly known as solar panels. Until now RTE had completed dozens of projects in the Dutch market. The reason for this research is that the SDE segment is relatively still unknown terrain to RTE and therefore needs …

This study focuses on the possible advantage of an aesthetic appeal on the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) cells and panels. Study deals with the importance of this perception of solar panels by potential buyers. It reports the relative importance of aesthetics compared with other attributes, namely investment …

Ningbo United Products wants to expand its line of business from solely business to business to a company that also has a business to consumer branch. They found a product, the foldable solar panel, that they want to do that with. The purpose of this report is to find out the market potential for the …
