Sunlight: there’s so much we can do with it. By using solar panels and solar boilers, we can convert sunlight into solar energy and solar heat, products that we urgently need. It’s time for efficient sustainable energy generation solutions. Solar energy is one of those solutions.

Solar energy: we have all heard of it, but what exactly is it? The sun emits a huge amount of light and heat. By using solar panels, we can convert that light into electricity. This is a sustainable way of generating energy. This technology has existed for some time and is still developing very rapidly. The technology is becoming more efficient all the time, which of course makes it a great solution to your energy needs.
Novar builds turn-key solar projects, including the largest solar carport in the world on the car park for the Lowlands festival. This sustainable car park has a total area of 35 hectares and has space for 15,000 cars. The system has 90,000 solar panels and supplies 35 MWp, which is equivalent to the power consumption of around 100 Lowlands weekends.
The Lowlands festival takes place annually at the same location in Biddinghuizen. While the organisation has been working for many years to make the festival sustainable, energy consumption is still a challenge. Around 300,000 kWh of electricity is consumed during each edition of Lowlands and almost all that electricity is currently produced by generators. By installing a solar carport, the festival has taken an enormous step towards becoming sustainable.
To realise projects like this, we first study the location. We decide whether to supply the energy directly to your organisation or also feed it into the national grid. We’ll always find another solution if the grid is at capacity. We also handle the financing, subsidy applications and build a solid business case. We also offer smart management once the system is operational.
Novar has teamed up with Lowlands to build the world’s largest solar carport on the festival grounds in Biddinghuizen. The solar carport was put into operation in May 2022.
Solar POWER in practice
At Novar, we believe that sustainable energy can make the world a better place. That’s why we realise large-scale projects with a major positive impact. We deliver reliable, affordable and sustainable solutions for companies, authorities and co-operatives.
Our mission is to harness the maximum possible energy from the sun. We develop large-scale solar projects on roofs and on land that turn sunlight into electricity. We harness our years of experience, new technologies and a healthy dose of determination to get the most out of the sun. We’ll fix your new energy while you concentrate on your core business.
