Nissan achieves largest collective solar roof in the Netherlands
- Power for 900 households via the roof of Nissan Motor Parts Center
- Crowd funding: purchased with ZonneDelen [Solar Bonds] costing from 25 euros, with sustainable yield
- New step within Intelligent Mobility with smart mobility and sustainable energy as cornerstones
AMSTERDAM – Nissan Motor Parts Center in Europe is the first company in the Netherlands to make its roof available to others for the production of sustainable energy on a large scale. The electricity generated is sufficient for the power consumption of 900 households. The first section becomes operational at the end of February. The project will be fully completed in May.
With the installation of this immense solar roof, Nissan is taking a further step toward its strategy focusing on Intelligent Mobility, with sustainable energy as one of its cornerstones.
"This project is perfectly suited to Nissan's endeavors to make mobility smarter and more sustainable," said Koen Maes, managing director Nissan Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). "That's why we are working on sustainable energy production and on projects such as energy storage in used batteries – vehicles which return energy to the network and car sharing. The solar roof is one of the cornerstones."
15-Year Long Yield
What is remarkable about the solar roof – in addition to the large scale – is that a wider public can participate in the project.
"A ZonneDeel costs 25 euros," said Sven Pluut, one of the founders of ZonnepanelenDelen. "Anyone who supports solar energy but does not have a roof on which to install solar panels can still contribute directly to the growth of sustainable energy via these ZonneDelen."
Participation delivers a 15-year long sustainable yield that is based on the amount of solar power generated and current electricity prices. The yield is paid out annually.
First Major Solar Coalition
"Amsterdam is going to have generate more solar power in the future, and that's why this is a great result," said Amsterdam councillor for sustainability Abdeluheb Choho. "A partnership between residents and companies here has created the first major solar coalition, due in part to the borough's sustainability fund. I hope that the courage and involvement demonstrated here by ZonnepanalenDelen and Nissan will set an example to other companies in Amsterdam."
In total, 20,000 ZonneDelen, costing 25 euros each, are available. Sales begin on November 15 via www.zonnepanelendelen.nl/project/nissan. Thanks to a subsidy scheme (SDE+), the Nissan Solar Roof is offering a minimum price per kWh produced during its life. The ASN Bank and the sustainability fund of the borough of Amsterdam are providing joint financing of 3.2 million euros for the project.
Project partners of the Nissan solar Roof include: Nissan Motor Parts Center, ASN Bank, Qurrent, Gemeente Amsterdam, de Zoncoalitie, JansZon, Stichting 1miljoenwatt and ZonnepanelenDelen.
