New methodology allows GO! to effectively invest in large-scale solar panel rollout

European subsidies were an additional incentive for GO! (Education of the Flemish Community) to unfold a large-scale PV panel plan. The large number of buildings (500+) and their distribution across Flanders did not make the task easy at first glance. But with a new methodology that combines data from GO! itself with public data, we were able to make a clear choice menu and business plan in a short period of time. We even drew up a top 10 of the most interesting buildings per school group.

With Repower EU, Europe aims to accelerate the replacement of gas and fuel oil building heating with renewable energy. The subsidy pot is considerable. Organizations with a very large patrimony can receive millions of euros in subsidies. The GO! - Education of the Flemish Community - was able to install 100,000 m2 of solar panels with the available funds. The crucial question was: which buildings are the most suitable to put solar panels on?
