Solar energy in the Netherlands

Solar Energy

Solar energy has become an indispensable energy source. Increasing numbers of solar panels are being installed on the roofs of houses and buildings, both residential and commercial. The number of solar parks is also increasing. Whatever variant is used, it is essential to test and certify the quality. This applies not only to the solar panels, thermal collectors and solar boilers themselves but also to the mounting systems, inverters and grid connections. Our experienced specialists test and certify all aspects related to solar energy. This demonstrates safety – important for users, residents, and building insurers.

Safe, certified and future-proof: how Kiwa supports the development of hydrogen components

The use of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier is growing rapidly, particularly in mobility and storage applications. For manufacturers of hydrogen tanks and components, this means an increasing need to comply with complex and diverse standards, ranging from automotive regulations to international transport legislation. Kiwa supports this development with a complete package of testing and certification services.

Testing hydrogen tanks: ensuring safety, quality and reliability

Hydrogen is playing an increasingly important role as a sustainable energy carrier, both for vehicles and for stationary applications and transport storage. The storage tank is a crucial component: without a safe, reliable and leak-tight cylinder, the safe use of hydrogen is simply not possible. What does it take to test hydrogen tanks and components? And how do we ensure that only products of proven quality and safety reach the market?

Green gas: A circular opportunity for water boards

Water boards treat vast amounts of wastewater daily, leaving behind sewage sludge. This sludge presents an opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by digesting it into biogas, which can then be upgraded to green gas. By doing so, water boards can make their energy supply more sustainable and play a circular role in the energy market.
