To achieve its renewable energy targets, reports in 2021 indicate that the Netherlands will need to install between 29 and 54 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage capacity by 2050. Storage with efficient management systems and digital controls is a crucial element of a reliable, flexible and affordable energy system.
In addition to photovoltaics, solar energy is used extensively for heating water, with 669.313 m2 installed by the end of 2020. Generating a total of 326 GWh heat energy in 2020. Nearly 80% of solar power installed in the Netherlands in 2017 was for small systems of less than 10 kW, a large part being rooftop Solar PV.
The Netherlands holds a unique position in the integration of PV modules in the built environment. Through desk research and interviews with industry experts we address relevant market failures that affect the European solar PV supply chain and provide strategic perspectives for rebuilding it.
In the Netherlands, the installed capacity is set to grow from 18 GW p today to 100-250 GW p in 2050. Hence, PV is a crucial ‘industry of the future’. This Growth Fund proposal aims to create the necessary innovative PV technologies and industrial basis in the Netherlands to capture economic value of billions of euros for decades to come.
Scale is the main reason for Dutch companies to buy materials from Asian factories. Therefore, joint purchases of bulk equipment from European manufacturers can strengthen a more autonomous Dutch and European solar PV production chain. Further, the Netherlands has a pioneering role in the development of mass customisation and lightweight panels.
Nearly 80% of solar power installed in the Netherlands in 2017 was for small systems of less than 10 kW, a large part being rooftop Solar PV. Larger systems over 500 kW accounted for just 6.9% of the total.
