Smart use of solar energy
The combination of solar power and battery storage strengthens the site’s sustainable energy supply. During the day, surplus solar power is stored in the battery so it can be used later — even when the sun isn’t shining. This creates a stable, future-proof energy system that is capable of supporting Nippon Express’s sustainability goals and prepares the site for next steps such as electric transport or operational expansion.
Ready for the future
With this project, Nippon Express can take a major step toward a resilient, future-ready energy supply. The system increases energy independence and flexibility in a region where the grid is becoming increasingly congested — a solution that not only works today, but is ready for tomorrow’s growth and electrification.
Partners in energy
The project was made possible through the collaboration between Sunrock, iwell, and Kersten Techniek. Sunrock managed the project, financing, and integration of the rooftop solar and battery systems; iwell provided the battery technology; and Kersten Techniek handled the on-site installation.
Together, they demonstrate how partnership leads to smart, scalable, and, above all, clean solutions that help companies put the energy transition into practice.
“We aim to be more than just the company that builds solar rooftops. With integrated energy solutions like this one, we help businesses use their energy more intelligently — today and in the future.”
— Bart Schot, Project Manager at Sunrock
