Enphase Energy and Wocozon Bring Green Sustainable Living to Netherlands Social Housing
Dutch nonprofit service company promotes social housing sustainability with deployment of advanced Enphase solar energy systems
Wocozon is managing a two-year energy services development program that will provide social housing tenants with Enphase systems to reduce their energy bills and their environmental footprint. The company fully finances and owns the solar PV arrays providing the power, while social housing tenants pay a monthly energy fee that is far lower than their normal utility bills.
Each social housing unit will be equipped with an average of 10 PV modules and Enphase solar energy systems, with an installed capacity of approximately 2.5 kilowatt-peak (kWp) per array. The systems will produce more than 85 percent of the energy consumed in the households, saving tenants up to 20 percent on their energy costs. In addition, the energy fee that tenants pay will be fixed, so occupants will never see an increase on their bills.
The solar systems installed via the program will generate a total of 7 MWh per year and be managed by Wocozon for 20 years. The PV installation and operations and maintenance support will be provided by a network of local solar companies.
"We benchmarked the Enphase system against rival inverter solutions and
found Enphase unsurpassed in several technological and performance
categories. We also found that the Enphase 20-year warranty is unmatched
in the industry," said
"Wocozon chose Enphase for our best-in-class solar energy technology,
which provides superior long-term energy production yields when compared
to competing inverter solutions," said Frank Berets,
"To lower the environmental impact of social housing buildings and contribute to reaching the European Union's ambitious ‘20-20-20 by 2020' goal, we want to equip at least 100,000 social dwellings with solar PV over the next five years," added Van Hooft. "We intend to motivate our customers and other social organizations to embrace renewable energy."
