Making the world a little bit sunnier. That’s what we, Erik Wieffer (left in photo) and René Hendriks (right in photo), had in mind when we were founded in 2015. Today, TPSolar’s ten solar parks in the Netherlands generate approximately 85 MWp. With this, we supply around 36,000 households with green electricity.
Leaving the Netherlands cleaner for future generations. As a family company, we are making the Netherlands sunnier through green and affordable energy from our own soil. How? By developing, building, financing and managing ecological solar parks. We never do this alone, but always together with landowners, farmers, residents, governments and energy cooperatives. That’s something we’re excited about and quite a bit proud of.
What sets TPSolar apart? Speed of action, creativity and always involved. Where others see obstacles, we find solutions. From the first idea to long-term management: we take responsibility and persevere. Together, we are building a future of clean energy.
Mission: ecological solar parks
Our mission? Developing solar parks in a ecological and locally accepted way. Our focus is to be creative and smart with the available locations in the Netherlands.
We develop, build, finance and manage our own solar parks. The collaboration with landowners, farmers, local residents, municipalities, provinces and energy cooperations is our first priority. Our solar parks are important for reaching our climate goals, and that is something we are proud of.
Erik Wieffer
Erik used to work in the international sales business. When he started trading in glass for solar panels, his interest for the world of solar energy rose. In his enthusiasm, he decided he wanted to be part of making the Netherlands more sustainable. That’s why he founded TPSolar. His goal? Develop projects from A to Z with his small and flexible team.
René Hendriks
René had been working for a multinational glass company for years. Once he got a glimpse of the possibilities of glass for solar panels, he knew he wanted more. With the rise of the SDE subsidy, he took his chance and founded TPSolar in 2015. He is proud that his son and daughter are working alongside him to make the Netherlands greener for future generations. “We might not be the biggest company to work with, but we are the nicest.”
