On the Trappenberglaan in the Dutch town of Rijnsburg , they mightknow it already . Enthusiastic mass with drone could have already picture it . In Poeldijk at SolarNRG , they have sex about it already . But Paauw Lilies has not been spread out the word about their investment in 1100 solar panels on the roof of their processing way to everyone . This was done on intent , read Wim - Jan Paauw of the lily farm consisting of 8.5 hectare , because “ the lilies . That ’s what it is all about . The solar panels are part of the whole vigor story , and the fact that it provides a fair fleck of sustainable energy is a nice bonus . ”
The lily raiser from Rijnsburg had already been looking into the theory of getting vigor from solar panels for a few age . The fact that SDE+ grants were available was known in Rijnsburg . “ We were n’t picked a few times and eventually were able to get a comme il faut feed - in recompense and received the grant . ”
custom of the largest ‘ zip user ’ is coveredWith that , the 1100 control board on the roof of the processing elbow room were eventually placed . “ We have a immense roof , and after having discussed it with SolarNRG we filled it to the max ” , Wim - Jan explains . “ During their peak moments , the dialog box provide 300 kWh , which we use to cover the vim needed for the cool down cell – ‘ a big energy user ’ – and the company , which is around 100 kWh . The remaining 200 kWh we supply back to the grid . ”
Besides solar gore , the lily grower also habituate a CHP . “ In the winters and at dark when our light are on but the sun does n’t glitter , we call for an substitute energy reference ” , is the simple explanation provide by Wim - Jan. “ But when the sun is shine it now gives an even undecomposed intuitive feeling . It ’s partly because we generate sustainable zip , which fits in with the social responsibleness I think an enterpriser should have , and at the same time it provides us with some supererogatory money , which is always a welcome welfare . ”
Nevertheless , the literal money still has to be made with the lily of course . To do this , the crime syndicate - run fellowship , which saw the light back in 1923 and now is one of the large lily raiser in the Netherlands , produces around ten million lily stems each year . lily are a genuine luxury product of which the majority is being exported to England , France , the United States , Russia , and the Far East , to name a few . “ We invest non - hold back in the cultivating of even better varieties , but also in our business surgical process . The solar jury are a part of that . ”
