Internships

MSc Innovation Sciences - Consultancy project

Utrecht University

In May 2022, Solinoor has welcomed a team of talented Innovation Sciences master students from Utrecht University (left to right): Stan ter Burg, Timo van Arkel, Rutger Schreur, Hugo Hofstede, and Daan Pisa. 

During their activities at Solinoor they performed research whereby their thesis question revolved around “Evaluating the current state, barriers and potentials of the horticulture sector towards green hydrogen adaptation produced by solar energy.” Their finalised consultancy report helped Solinoor and the industry to understand better if and how hydrogen produced by solar energy can serve as an alternative energy solution for greenhouses. 

At Solinoor we are always looking for ways to contribute to education and participation. Want to know more about the possibilities for your project? Send an email to info@solinoor.com or get in touch via the button below.

Research programmes

Gelderse Aanpak Zonnevelden met Omgevingskwaliteit (GAZO)

Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Province of Gelderland

As our land availability is limited, we have to make multi-functional use of it. To share our experience and ambitions, Solinoor has joined the "Gelderland Approach to Solar Fields with Environmental Quality project" (in Dutch: Gelderse Aanpak Zonnevelden met Omgevingskwaliteit - GAZO) which is a joined research initiative of the province of Gelderland and Wageningen University & Research (WUR). This five year project includes six innovative solar field examples whereby there is a clear focus on accalerating the energy transtion, multi-functional usage of space, achieving municipal ambitions, participation, and environmental quality.

SPARKLES

Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)

Solinoor has joined the SPARKLES consortium led by the led by NIOO-KNAW (Netherlands Institute of Ecology) to conduct research into the use of floating solar panels. The consortium, consisting of scientists and public and private partners, aims to determine the technological, ecological and social conditions for sustainable use of floating solar energy in different landscapes.The research is aimed at contributing to the energy transition and the conservation of biodiversity in the Netherlands, where floating solar panels can help generate clean energy without affecting agricultural or residential areas.
