Innovation in horticulture: Solar energy on water reservoirs

Strong partnerships

To ensure success, Genap collaborates closely with strategic partners such as Zon op Water and other leading companies in the horticulture sector. While Genap focuses on water storage and anchoring, partners provide state-of-the-art solar panels, floating systems, and electrical infrastructure. Through knowledge sharing and continuous innovation, the solutions are constantly improving. This way, we support horticultural businesses in transitioning to sustainable energy while optimizing water storage.

Growth and Future Prospects

The demand for sustainable energy in horticulture is growing rapidly due to the global energy transition and stricter regulations. Investing in solar energy is becoming increasingly attractive for growers, thanks to subsidies like the GMO scheme, which covers up to 50% of costs. This enables not only a short payback period but also an affordable long-term solution.

In Southern European countries with higher solar exposure, floating solar panels generate up to 50% more energy than in the Netherlands. In Canada, this increase is around 20%. This makes investment in these regions even more appealing, as higher yields shorten the payback period. Genap is responding to this by partnering with local experts to make its solutions available worldwide.

Conclusion

Genap is a trusted partner in the energy transition of greenhouse horticulture. With smart anchoring systems and strong partnerships, Genap offers sustainable energy solutions without compromising water storage functionality.
