Solar energy

The sun is an inexhaustible source of energy that can be used for a wide range of applications. Passive solar energy, for instance, is captured when buildings are designed to use sunlight to heat rooms. Solar energy can also be used actively. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, using photovoltaic solarenergy (solar power). Solar heaters convert sunlight into heat in order to warm water and rooms. This is called thermal solar energy.

Solar energy

We help clients implement both PV and thermal solar energy systems, both in new developments and in existing buildings. Our services vary from feasibility studies and design to delivery of turnkey systems.

Solar drying

Solar drying of agricultural products is a promising market, especially for those crops that are mechanically dried at lower temperatures. Ecofys has build up experience in this area.

REE Power Gen 2008
