The Netherlands - Almere.
Details of the Almere Solar Island Project. The solar island provides the residents of the Noorderplassen West neighbourhood with renewable heating.
Covering an area of 15,000 m2 (over three football pitches), including about 7,000 m2 of solar collectors, the solar island is unique in the Netherlands. The solar collectors on the solar island use sun rays to heat water. This water is pumped directly into the district heating network, which supplies 2,700 homes with heating and warm tap water. Since 2010 the island provides 10% of the neighbourhood’s heating requirements, which is sufficient for one million showers a year.
