The need for sustainable energy is huge. And in the future, 60 times more solar and wind energy will be needed due to the further electrification of transport and industry.
At the same time, there is large unused unused potential in
the form of empty roofs and other unused surfaces suitable for PV (solar
panels).
This offers opportunities for property owners and entrepreneurs, say
Jildar van der Galiën and Tonnie van Grinsven. Sunrock makes the link.
The solar energy market is developing at a rapid pace and Sunrock is making a significant contribution to this. This service provider develops, builds, finances, operates and monitors solar parks, both on the roof, on the ground and on the water. ’We help companies achieve their sustainable ambitions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels’, says Jildar van der Galien. “The first step is to develop a high-quality solar panel park for the customer, but afterwards we can also provide storage solutions, charging infrastructure and advice on smart energy consumption.’ This approach is very successful. Since the start in 2012 this innovative company has grown to become the market leader in large-scale solar installations on roofs. Having developed roofs for companies such as Prologis, DHG and tenants such as Coolblue, it is now time for the next step: the roofs of commercial real estate, hospitals and healthcare institutions. Solar panels as a Service can be an excellent solution for these institutions.
Fun
They both enjoy working at Sunrock. “It’s a fantastic company with driven professionals’, says Van Grinsven. “Everyone is enthusiastic and has the will to get things done quickly and well. We want to make an impact by generating an enormous amount of electricity. Think of the equivalent of the power consumption of hundreds of thousands of households. It’s great to see that it works.’ For Van der Galiën, this employer fits in perfectly with his desire to create a sustainable world. He realized early on that fossil fuels are a dead end, and he enjoys working on sustainable alternatives. “Sunrock is a fun club with positive smart people who are motivated to make a difference,” he explains. “That gives me energy.”
