In Northern Europe incoming annual solar energy exceeds the national energy consumption for heating buildings. Hence solar energy has a large potential as a renewable energy source – and not only in tropical countries. In NIRAS we are confident that solar energy will play an important role in future energy systems.
We have provided advisory services on technology development in solar energy since the design of the first Danish cooperative solar heat plant in the 1980s. NIRAS provides a range of services in relation to integrating solar energy into the district heating systems.
