The Solar Energy Application Centre (SEAC) in The Netherlands was founded in 2012 as a cooperation between ECN, TNO and Holland Solar. Together we work on innovative solar energy products and services from development to market introduction. We build consortia, organize inspiring meetings, perform research and monitoring and deliver benchmark studies. We write reports, develop roadmaps and facilitate subsidy applications. In this way we ensure that investments are profitable, for all parties involved. This is how we make solar energy more effective, more profitable and more powerful. The Mission of SEAC is: - To stimulate research and development in the field of Solar Systems and Applications; - To stimulate the economic activities in The Netherlands and its neighboring regions in the field of innovative Solar Systems and Applications. What can SEAC do for you? - Concept development: Together we work on innovative concepts, such as building-integrated solar energy (BIPV) and integration in the infrastrucutre (I2PV) (noise barriers, tents, guard rails, roads and landfills). We are also working on innovative solar thermal concepts, such as PVT (combined solar power and solar heat) and (CPV systems based on optical concentration of sunlight). - Outdoor research: The research facility SolarBEAT is available for you to test innovative products in a real life environment. SolarBEAT is equipped with the highest quality weather station and a dense network of sensors for irradiation, temperature and energy yield. SolarBEAT also has a full installation of solar thermal research, buffer tanks, flow meters and flow controllers. - Consultancy: SEAC offers services on Innovation Strategy, Techno-Financial Analysis, Procurement and Commissioning & Monitoring.
