At Westland Plant in Kwintsheul , no less than 2500 m2 of solar panel have been install . The initiation is special because the panels are integrated into the glass so that light still enters the processing area . It is currently being connected , and from now on , Peet Zwinkels trust to be self - sufficient for most of the year as far as the company ’s Energy Department needs are concern .
The polycarbonate plates on the barn were in need of replacement , say Peet , and because of the desire and need felt to make the business sector more sustainable , further consideration was throw to more than simply new plates . " I got in cutaneous senses with TST , and it turned out to be quite possible to outfit solar panels integrated into glass , which also fitted into the subsist discount . That made the investiture interesting . We hope to produce 400,000 kWh on an annual basis before long . "
presently , Peet can not feed back to the gridiron ( because it ’s full ) . He is therefore looking at options to salt away the generated power , and there are two ways to do this . " We could turn it into heat and soften that , but that does n’t make sense in our vitrine , specially since we already get our heat from the local geothermic source . I ’m really thinking mainly about batteries . Then we can store power during the day and use it again in the off - peak hours . "
Apart from providing energy , of grade , the panels should also bring home the bacon a slimly cooler workplace in summertime . Although they logically trap light , it is still light at bottom as well ; in open weather , you may function there just fine without additional lighting . From the top , the cells are black , but on the inside , they are finished with a ashen hydrofoil , which also makes it count light deep down . Assembly was taken care of from A to ezed by TST .
A technician from TST is work on the link . No less than 15 K cables will be used for the whole matter .
