Solar Park Zilverbeek
The Netherlands
Impact
Renewable energy
The capacity of Solar Park Zilverbeek is 15.8 MWp. It produces approximately 15,800 MWh per year, which is enough to power almost 6,000 households.
Sustainable farming
The 17-hectare planning zone, owned by two parties with three plots, will be converted from former cornfields into a solar park, benefiting the area’s natural environment, soil quality, and hydrology.
Biodiversity
This plan promotes biodiversity, strengthens the local wildlife corridor and green development zone, enhances habitats for badgers and other wildlife, improves soil quality, and boosts insect populations.
Local community
Along with other measures, an environmental fund has been set up under the participation plan. The local residents will thus be able to benefit from the arrival of the solar park in various ways.
Local community
Sunvest involved the municipality-appointed environmental advisory board in the project development, seeking their input on our design plans.
A 20-metre strip along Lendeweg Street will expand the existing nature reserve, reducing the solar park’s spatial impact. This area, previously used for corn cultivation, is ideal for enhancing the natural environment, soil quality, and hydrology. This was confirmed during consultations with nature organisations, environmental groups, and local residents. Our plans for developing the Zilverbeek solar park represent a strong synergy between energy generation and environmental enhancement.
